As logic would also dictate, my fuel bill would automatically be
credited for the highway tax when I buy gas for my VW. Even though my
bug can easily go 65+, I'd stay off the freeway if I didn't have to
pay the highway tax. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Hello Matt :-P

VW's should be free to roam as they please. However, the roads would be
safer if the TURDS like this knucklehead wouldnt drive their monster SUV's
20-30 or more miles an hour over the speed limit!

Go troll somewhere else.

honestly.... IDIOTS should be banned from the freeways and any other
roads. Instead of toll booths, maybe an IQ test booth.... hmm... the
lines would soon ease up when 99% of the population realizes they won't
be allowed on the road... fewer accidents, less need for damn
construction, less need for taxes... there, problem solved. Ride the
damn bus, morons. Those who have not seen Florida traffic, may not fully
understand.... LOL

a pinto with the 2.0(german) engine is a very reliable and capable car...
the late 2.3 is also reliable and capable... 75mph is really no strain on a
pinto...well...except for strain on the eyes of thosed forced to see you
driving it...

Incorrect. Deduct one point for not understanding the distribution of
IQ. By definition 50% of the population is below average IQ.

Idiots would be less than 30% of the population and too incompetent to
even start a car.

Let's call it a language difficulty, Jan. Perhaps in your native
language "idiot" is still closely coupled with the original Ancient
Greek definition. In that case we don't need an IQ test; we need a
friggin revolution.

Said in good spirits.

The Pinto understeered badly. On a bumpy road the back end would try to
pass the front end. Can you tell I had one? In the last days of owning
one, I had flames painted on it. On the back. Going up!

But it had a good little engine!
