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

I bought these so that I wouldn't need to do any kind of penny tricks..These do seem to sit higher then the previous ones I had. They are suppose to be a "revised" edition. Yet they still don't work right. Hope the weight in the hatch works if not I'm making Nissan fix it. Than I bet you they'll blame it on my aftermarket shocks.

Sure but these are higher/revised version of the old ones they aren't the same. I don't know if the penny trick will ding the hatch or not. There were some who put too many pennies and had there hatch dinged.

Damn me and my OCD.

YAY RAIN!!!

I work at 5pm and I have to run to the Tax Controller's office, and call a Distributor in Miami, and start making some calls to set up some events in the area... I will get my work schedule for next week tomorrow, I will shoot you a PM with my available times, and hopefully something will match up, sound like a plan?

Well I leave either Saturday or Sunday for NorCal for about a week. Come back for a few days and leave for Colorado from August 1-4. I still have to reschedule with my friend, too. But, it probably wouldn't hurt to see when you are free, and then when it lines up I can let you know.

Well, it's orientation, turned into a semi vacation. Colorado is more of a business meeting for my dad that I get dragged along too. However, I know another FXer up there, and I hope I can finally do some real mountain biking this summer.

Only time I ever really hit the tolls is on my bike and my licence plate for some reason is placed so that cameras cant get a picture of it. Hmmm, dunno how that happenned.

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-30 between Dallas and Ft Worth was a toll way up until the 80s and so was 360. Those are the last two tolls I have seen go away though

I cut the Nissan hatch shocks off and bought some at NAPA i think, dont remember, was a few years ago. Took several tries but found some that were the right size. Mine wouldn't stay up after the wing was added so had to do something to remedy the situation
