I do like how OK mailed me a warning for blowing a toll.

Texas and Florida will mail you a toll fee plus fees. LOL Ask me how I know.

Depending on what part of Colorado we are going to or coming from. We will either take I80 or I70. Most times, it's I70. The one time coming home on I70 in Kansas. Got the bright idea of not going on the toll section of I70 on the eastern side of Kansas. So we let Garmin re route the trip. Spent 3 days taking a round about way around the toll road.

All of that to save a few bucks. Spent more on fuel then tolls in the motorhome.

My wife absolutely hates driving through Kansas. She bitches about it so much that I have pledged to bury her in Kansas! I've tried to convince her that it will be more convenient for friends and relatives to visit her there as the geographic center of the lower 48 is in Kansas. I've promised to pick a spot near there for her

My wifey hates Kansas too.

We was going to Colorado one time on I70 with a new Garmin. For us, it's a straight shot on I70. But for some reason, in Indianapolis. The new Garmin routed us north on I65N to RT32W. 2 lane road all the way into Colorado.

Talk about Mayberry towns.

All the towns we came into had one intersection. On each corner of the intersection was a bank, gas station, mom&pop diner, food store. The road going through each town was called Main St.

I use PhotoBlocker spray on my plates. The stuff works! Used to get tolls in the mail from Colorado. We travel on E470 a lot. Sprayed my plates, and no more tolls in the mail. Been going on for 3 years now.

Just ordered Trackspec Hood vents!

I have mostly completed the install of the Z1 fog light tonight. I just got too tired out in the heat, so it was better to just shower and complete the job tomorrow.

The running light and reverse light are connected. I just need to run the wires for the "brake" light, which will be used more as a traditional fog light. I have a on-off-on switch that will have one setting for static and another for a constant flash)

On top of that, I was able to verify my multi-meter is working. I got some sort of resistance measurement for the "passenger off" light that had the harness yanked off. I'll took one of the 100 resistors I bought for the new seat install and soldered it onto some wire so I can connect it tomorrow. Hopefully that will allow the SRS system to think the notification light is present.

DeliriousClam · 08-11-2019, 03:15 PM

Hood's on

How? Lolol i had a few photo tolls on my zdayz trip and didnt get anything. Bridge toll. Road toll.

I forgot to pull out my transponder for a 407 drive during rushhour... 6 dollet toll. 5 admin fee. 3 for cameta fee + tax. Ended up paying like shy of 16 bucks. Saved me 30 solid minutes though

The stealer ship told me I'm halfway through the thread life. I only have a little over 6,250 miles on my 370 Z from the day we got. Not a great day...

12.5k isnt terrible for oem rears. Maybe some all seasons may be more apt for your ride, budget and expectations.
