    NYS tolls and fees going DOWN?

    Not only does THAT confuse me....it might have caused a hole in the universe....

    A couple of weeks ago I crossed the Tappan Zee bridge into Tarrytown. Had my $6 all ready. I drive up to the toll booth and it says:

    CARS $5.00.

    WTF? How did that happen? The toll went down? Must be "them" playing with our heads to cause whatever they want to cause?

    Then, as if that wasn't bad enough...

    Had my car inspected last Friday. When I made the appointment, the guy told me, "Registration and $37 cash", just like the last 10 years. I drop the car off and take a walk. When it's done I go in and the guys says, "$21.00". Huh? He said something about how the whole thing has changed.

    I didn't watch what he did, but checking out the NYS Inspection website, it looks like the no longer have that dynamometer test. For cars 1995 or newer, the check that the on board computer is functioning. For cars older than that they visually inspect the pollution controls.

    It always scared the crap out of me to see a car, and especially my car "rolling" at 60 mph. Wonder if any vehicle ever shot off the rollers at that speed?

    Seem heads are gonna roll for making NYS more consumer friendly?

    If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
