Ez pass makes it easy less of a pain in the dick, but yea it sucks. I pay like $5/ day just to drive to and from work for turnpike tolls.

Pretty much any large city in the Midwest or Northeast will have em. Less popular in the south but times are changing. When my best friend and I drove from Milwaukee, WI to Canton, OH for Favre's induction ceremony we paid more in tolls than gas to and from the event. Fucked up.


Fucking outrageous.... I guess if you've been around them it's more of just a way things are, but being someone who's never paid a toll in his life, I'd straight be raging if over night I had to start paying $5 a day to get to/from work or school or w/e.

Tolls are a much smaller concern when you have to factor in parking for large cities. Taking a weekend in Chicago to see a few shows and check out a new hotel my gf's company acquired and it's like 40 bucks a day just to leave my car there without any access to it at all while it's parked. In Milwaukee, I have places I can leave it for free and I just uber everywhere, but I don't have any connections in Chicago :(

It's not so bad. I have my gross pay, take out the governments 90% in taxes, subtract my $50 in tolls for 2 weeks, subtract my $50 in gas for 2 weeks and I am left with enough money to buy ramen noodles.

That shit I get. Seattle is fucking insane for parking, especially on game day. Most I've ever paid for parking is like $30 (Sounders), but my buddy Arther who makes pretty good money and will ALWAYS pay more for convenience (he's just a lazy fuck), paid like $120 for parking when he took his little sister to go see the Hawks play. He was right next to the stadium, but I couldn't fucking believe that shit. My parents happened to be in Seattle during a random game day this year too, and to park like a mile and a half away, it was still $50 or $60.

wait what?

no, georgia actively got rid of their toll roads recently and implemented a system of pay to go in the HOV if you so desire.

not, hey, if you wanna visit this area it's gonna be an extra $20 (i'm expensing it all for work so don't care but it's annoying still)

also, florida might have more tolls than the rest of the world combined lol

This broke fuck can't even afford a few dollars for tolls, but he's always bragging about how rich he is.

Exposed mother fucker, exposed.

Not about how much it is, it's about the stupidity of the situation. You pay taxes for roads when you register your vehicle already.. tolls are fucking stupid.
