i will trade one (1) airplane ticket to the destination of your choice provided you prove your first born is indeed your first born, and he is a strong laborer.

do we have a deal?

Tolls in the D take coins, if they accept money at all (many are moving to zip-cash: bills in the mail). 70 cents isn't unheard of for a toll. Which is oh-so-convenient, when there's that "Exact Change" lane. Good thing I have exactly 70 cents. Not 75, 70.

I think this is mounted next to your handlebar mount drink coozey.

Crap like this just cracks me up

Years ago, JC Shitney was the only place to get funky stuff for old VWs -- cheap glass packs, oil coolers, cheap interiors.

I redid a 68 bug with almost all JC Shitney stuff. welded in new floorplates, new interior, seat covers, dash, some sheet metal.

I saw the car years later and it held up. I was surprised, I expected the interior to just rot.

West Virginia Turnpike is $1.25 in 2-3 different places.

I'd be afraid that any coins I put in that thing would end up being listed in the "Things you've lost" thread.

That is hilarious! Definitely the next "must-have" mod...still laughing over this one...

Apparently the Dallas tolls, since they do not have any gates at the tolls, will let you pass through without paying. But it photographs you as you pass through if the green 'paid' light isn't triggered. A friend found out recently that after the car in front of him through money in, but it didn't register, that the hand motion alone is sufficient to avoid tickets. Or at least he thinks so.

Now he drives through all of 'em, window down, making a flinging motion towards the bucket with an empty hand.

Special K · August 17, 2009, 06:54:06 AM

Sorry to threadjack here but where do you put your ezpass that works? I've put it on my handlebars and on the forward facing part of my trellis frame, neither ever reads.

The Kansas Turnpike takes credit now
