Bah. Each city is different, and in San Francisco it's strictly by the hour and we pay the tolls upfront (actually, it looks like Boston and NY do too; you just have EZ Passes in the cars that run you through without paying the tolls in cash, but at some point they do get charged to your account).

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's too bad - sounds like it might have been a workable solution otherwise.

you are correct. I just didn't realize. I use it so rarely.
ION, the movers are about halfway through moving out the stuff that is going to storage. The basement storage unit is now empty and all they have up here to move is 90% boxes, so that should go fast. I had like three loads of stuff in the basement that I had to pull up here to still go through or get rid of. TOO MUCH STUFF!
Hey Hec - I talked to my boss about your car.
Are you sure the smoke was coming out of the tailpipe? If so, the possibilities are pretty much all bad. If the smoke was coming from under the car, it could be a coolant or transmission fluid leak.

It took YEARS of emailing before they put those EZ Passes in - I don't understand why all rental cars don't have them. (I'd also love for Zipcars to have GPS, but I'm guessing the theft rate would be too much for them to handle.)

You could just buy your own. Some cost less than a 100 bucks and you just suction them on and you're good to go.
Hey, I am trying to talk myself into going to an old friend's wedding in Santa Cruz on May 15. (My hesitancies are $$ and having to rely on friends & complex logistics for local transport, plus being a HUGE GIANT DORK.) Does anyone want to tell me how lovely it would be to visit NorCal in May?

Bad like unfixable, bad like very expensive fix, how very is that very? My knotted gut and I eagerly await your response.
Yeah, the possibilities are the head gasket or worse (cracked head block, cracked engine block).
