Tolltag ftw. At least they give you a discount. I believe if you use the Zipcash or whatever it cost full price.

It doesnt make sense to me how they can keep having an increase every few years. And I have never seen a tollway be finished paid for and the booths go away (not automated like this BS).

I'm just glad I don't work in Dallas anymore. That commute 5-6 days a week was expensive.

You get screwed either way, just one uses lube. Zipcash not only costs you full price, but an admin fee to mail you the bill each month.

The old DFW turnpike (I-30 at Loop 12) was de-tolled when it was paid for. I was very young, but I remember seeing the old toll booths there when we would drive out to my aunt's house in Grand Prairie. That was back in '78.

lol, wow im surprised your new springs wont pop up your hatch...........

well, the only thing you can do now is add really really strong hatch shocks - though they are not designed to aid in popping the hatch up...........if you get really strong ones..(STAGE 3) then it will do it.........but honestly i would just leave it alone....im just glad my hatch doesn't fall on my head anymore....i can care less about having to press the button twice thing..

wait, have you removed the hatch weight??? the one that is under the plastic panel?

I got that too, had it fixed last month. I was quite surprised that Sewell was able to do it all, but I my service manager is really good, and I emailed him a copy of the TSB, albeit for a G.

I dont mean to laugh Q, but.....

That really sux about the new springs dude..but theres fixes for it..and its ok that you just got by nissan.. we have all been there dude.. Im returning my pedal since I got the 380 one.. I get back a whopping 26 bucks. And I get a NISMO shifter for 25 from some dude on CL.. Its win/win

All you have to do is that penny trick thingy that Ive read about and you wont have push buttons twice..

So I'll bet a cool lookin carbon fiber hatch wouldn't weigh as much...
