delliott101 Sep 17, 2002

I want to say no, but I'm thinking that I can't remember them being in any other state I've been in...

web-toedchloe Sep 18, 2002

Actually it is the only state with jughandles.

whats a "jughandle"?????????

iwz iwz

From http://www.gardenstate50-50.org/pages/Driving_Tips.htm

Quite

often, in New Jersey, in order to make a left turn, you must make three right

turns, or a single sweeping right turn.  This phenomenon is called the

"jughandle."  It enables you to speculate as to which lane you need to be

in for an upcoming left turn.

Actually, New Jersey is very cool. I know there seems to be a lack of things to do usually, but if you lived in like..Utah or something..there would be an even bigger lack of things to do. We got some of the coolest beaches on the East Coast within a few hours drive, it snows here, it gets hot, we live within an hour or a bit more of NYC, we got Penn right next to us!! It's not so bad.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Yeah, if ou think of it, NJ is a very varied state... farms, orchards, ranches and lakes in the northwest, cities in the east, beaches and oceans further south, rural, urban and suburbs, the BEST pizza anywhere (forget Chicago and NYC), bagels, Jersey tomatoes and corn, parks, lots of shopping and entertainment, too! Just the high cost of living and car insurance stinks...

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Oh, yeah... NJ is also the home of punk princess! That ALONE is worth the price of admission! But it's also the home (as a bonus) to malibu, thatdarngirl, flomojomo (ARGH!), rae rae, funky fresh, rock supastar, katiedid, iwz, and so many others, including me!!!

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

hahahahaha thanks Dave! NJ rox!!! :-D

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Hey, anytime kiddo!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

yea, long island is way better...we have all that stuff...but just alot closer... we're 45 mins from teh city...15 mins from the best beachs...out east its totally rural..with vineyards and stuff...its awesome... and the bagels and pizza? come on...dont mess with NY. haha but, weird enough...i think once i'm married i wanna move. so bascially i just totally contradicted myself. lol

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

Long Island sucks because you have to go everywhere on the LIE, which is in a constant state of construction. Very gay. At least in NJ we have many ways to get out of NJ, whether to the city or anywhere else.

magnum magnumOG 2001

obviously u cant navigate long island too good if thats all you use, cause im never on it. And for the record jersey turnpike sucks down south also. And tolls whats up with those? Dont see them on any roads on li!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

woohoo! yea you tell him man! seeeeeee DAN! ur WRONG!!!!! lol yea whats up with NJ and every mile another 35cent toll! and everytime you get off an exit 25cents! its sucha stinkin hassle! ugh! stupid nj roads. lol

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Yeah, I hate that.. if I can avoid the Parkway or the Turnpike, I will. Like going to the shore... I have to take the Parkway and every 15 to 20 miles is a @#$%^&*!!!! toll! Those highways were paid for YEARS ago... OOOH!!! Don't get me started!!!

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder delliott101

they must make several hundred dollars a week with those tolls

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 thefunkyfresh

Several HUNDRED??? Try several TENS OF THOUSANDS!!!! Those toll roads are the money makers!

Well to be honest I don't pay tolls, I just drive through and pretend I did'nt see it...and I have never gotten a ticket. (Hint: only do this through the "Exact change" booth)

hahaha, i was joking. they probably make a million dollars a day or more

malibu malibuOG 2001

why don't you just get ezpass and stop whining?

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 malibu

i have eZpass slick. ur just being protective of the NJ roads when you know quite well how badly they do indeed suck. lol joking!

eZpass is my personal hero.

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

pay to drive??? bizzare

malibu malibuOG 2001 ekulu

no you just pay when you go through a toll booth. its only like $1 charge for using it.

magnum magnumOG 2001 malibu

yes you ever think how much that adds up to you, but obviously you are a lil slow in jersey and dont mind wasting your money. In normal places we can drive for free, its actually quite nice!

seriuosly thats so true, considering how many times ive passed over the gothels bridge going to long island, and the verranzano coming home... holy moly i could buy another car... stupid tolls

magnum magnumOG 2001

u are saying penn being next to you is a plus? ummm i think you should re read what u just said!

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Actually, I agree... Pennsylvania is pretty okay... since we're in circuit PA-2, lots of friends are out that way!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Actually...I was just joking about that part.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

haha, i do agree jersey's roads SUCKS! i hate em too....and just for the record....highways....do not have lights.....dont argue with me...they are not supposed to.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

jug handles aren't really like that though... they're more like, when you bear to the right to make a left

iwz iwz

then in your head, continue the line and make it turn to the left.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

yea, DUH
