Driving across the boarder to the uS.

[88CRXGUY]

A friend and I are thinking of driving down to the states for a small road trip and I was wondering what do I need to get a cross at the boarder? From what I was told I don't need a passport since that I am driving, but what do I need for ID, can I use a DL or birth certifacate? Any help would be great, thanks.
