y'know? i used to work for an inventory company and we'd roll to different places to audit every single day. my co-workers and i became ONE with the parkway. now i'm not a tough guy or anything, but we've blown hundreds of tolls, before the company finally got us EZ-pass, and we've never been snagged. i guess it's just chance.
ok. here's the difference. THEY ONLY FINE PEOPLE IN THE EZ-PASS BOOTHS.
I have blown through "exact change" booths (not that i am proud of this) and never gotten a ticket.
On another note...I would REALLY like to pretend that I "accidentally" went to a Cash lane, instead of a "exact change" lane, and throw the money at the person. hahaha
dude, i know...before i had ez-pass..i'd never put the 35 cents in the bucket..or i'd throw pennies in..(ya know to get rid of them) haha i've done this countless amounts of times..nothing happens..ever.
yep dad always proudly reads the sign it says "no pennies PLEASE" it doesn't say no pennies
hahahaha, that's our logic too...It doesn't say you CAN'T...it just says PLEASE :)
oh, that rocks....so only if i go through the ez-pass, good to know....dodging ceasar's $$ requests is on of my many hobbies, you have equipped me w/knowledge that lets me cary this even further...yay
i blew EZ-PASS, once, when it was fairly new, by accident. didn't get a ticket. but since--i've never accidentally gone thru it. i imagine they're much more rigid now. now, throwing change at the person in the CASH/RECIEPT lane is a very funny idea. i bet it'd totally catch them off gaurd. my friend jamie, always says crap to those poor people. stuff like "theres plenty more where that came from!" and "call me?" as he's pulling away. OR he puts on some silly 80's amber-vision shades and gives them a slack-jawed look. my favorite is pulling up to them with an eyepatch on. fun stuff.
i miss throwing the quarter out the passenger window, up and over the car.
you're so old you remember when the GSP was .25?? crazy.
awww c'mon, dude! it's not like i remember having to get out to turn my own pike or something. (jeopardy answer: why is it called a turnpike?)
now, the pike was that windy lever thing that they turned keep the engine going right?
no. it was a spiked pike (any SNL fans?) that blocked the road. the toll taker would have to lift and turn the pike (aka 'turnstile') so your car could go through. lemme see if i can find a pic.
