big crush on Chad OMG posted:At least in Texas, the roads were tolled to recoup the cost of construction. Supposedly when it was paid off, plus I assume some sort of fee for the builder, the road would convert to a regular highway. As far as I know that has never happened once. It happened in Georgia. Highway 400 from Atlanta to Buckhead was a toll road, then it was fully paid off and the toll booths were removed.

So it has like 50 of em? e: according to Wikipedia, The netherlands has 2,808 km of expressways. 2,800kms wouldn't even get me to Toronto. If i drove east for 2800kms, i would still be 2000kms away from the east coast. Powershift fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Jun 19, 2019 |

I was in a band and we ran out of money at the end of tour, had to borrow gas money to drive from Buffalo, New York to southeastern Ohio starting at like 7 pm. My job was to sit in the passenger seat and keep our driver awake throughout the night. I'm pretty sure I started hallucinating, but Pennsylvania was a huge part of that drive and knowing exactly how many tenths of a mile were passing when you desperately want to be at home and sleep is maddening.

gently caress the deer you share a road with. Been dodging them 25 years and it took a two pronged attack from both sides of the road to finally get me. Worst part is I'm 1500 miles from home and am gonna be That Guy with a single headlight for a couple weeks.

Powershift posted:Some jerk tried to ramp his RV onto a ferry and now he's dead The article said it was a mechanical issue, and I could believe it. RVs tend to have poor maintenance because the owners either drive it once a year and otherwise neglect it, or they spend all their time at campsites or RV parks and just don't think of it as a vehicle. And they are fiberglass boxes on a frame with little structural integrity. That Top Gear RV race was wild as everything fell off and the walls collapsed et al.
