    PA ranks up there with crappy roads esp for having one of the highest road taxes. What's even worse than penndot is the local crews.

    I Always Always put my Tinfoil cap on and cinch the strap tight before I roll through the weigh stations .

    Call me Crazy.

    But I can't risk them downloading what a Great Deal a Lease Purchase ,Lease on Plan is.

    Don't look at the White Volvos. Don't Look at the White Volvos , Don't Look at the White Volvos

    Geiger counters are used on oilfield equipment like frack valves or drill collars after every use.
