Toll Road Scam

What @hlee said above. It’s indiscriminate and just broadcast to millions of numbers.
I understand that. It was more of a rhetorical question/statement.
There shouldn't be a connection between your phone number and your license plate. Why even open it? Just swipe it away or report as spam. Someone mentioned that they were in a rental car in Florida and started getting them. Connecting the dots says that some app on their phone is tracking them. Possibly tic toc or some other like photos. Many apps have tracking and it should be turned off so this crap doesn't happen.
 
Id bet here is someone inside involved. My supervisor and I are administration for our expanses. They seldom get used. I used mine locally a couple times without any texts. He used his twice on the express lanes in northern Va and we both got texts a day or two later.
 
Biggest scam....some Kansas Turnpike fees have been collected for 68 years. Kansas Turnpike has a $600 million surplus. Not 60....600 million!!!!
Sure contributed our part when Will III was stationed at McConnell
Hey, they have nice numbered bridges and exact mile marker signs, quit hating
No hate, just paid, and always trying to keep plenty of quarters in the Suburban

Loved the rest stops that were in between the lanes. With full service truck and car services as well as the obligatory Mickey D’s. Best Idea I ever saw. (On a highway)

As I remember, they had toll booths about every 40 or 50 miles. And the toll was fifty cents, or seventy-five cents. So, if you had correct change you could just go through the correct change booth, throw in your money in the machines basket, the machine counted it quickly and raised the gate.

Keep in mind, this was 2016. old mama sequestered a large group of officers out of the USAF that year after he did not get his way on a tax bill. Cost you and me millions because many of these officers were trained professionals. They had to be replaced with new men and a large part of the group got employment with private contractors doing essentially the same tasks they did when they were not flying. Of course the cost went up and the taxpayers paid. Our son was part of that group and left the Air Force in 2016. Had a job doing mission planning the day he was discharged. When not flying in the Air Force, guess what he did (at less cost to you and me)……Mission Planning.

Worst case. A navigator had applied for pilot training and was accepted. He went through the entire training, was certified to take over the right seat (copilot) of a KC135. As he arrived at his duty station, to start his career as a pilot, he was sequestered and discharged. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO TRAIN A PILOT!!!!

Call me a racist, but obama and Ms obama, the two worst human beings to occupy the White House since Woodrow Wilson. (Joe Biden does not count as he was there in body only).

Nothing compared to the 100's of billions that USAID and other grifts our government has been stealing behind our backs for years.
The cost to train a KC135 pilot is right at 1.2 MILLION dollars. Which is a bargain compared to an F-35 pilot ($12,000,000.00) or an F-22 pilot (($15,000,000.00) Old mama kicked em out like they were pikers. Waht a complete total ass. He makes millions off his being President and we foot the bill.

Presidents should be allowed to earn more than 50% of their approval rating. OK their approval rating times 100. 50% = $5000.00. Give them appreciation of how much shit they put us taxpayers through.
 
Hah!! I'm in the club country code 231 is Liberia.

To be fair, I am a Speer chucker
So you live in Liberia?
Here we was thinking you is American.
Or....did you mean you shoot Speer bullets?
Honestly, shooting Speer bullets is like admitting you fuck morbidly obese fat chicks.
Wait....are you saying you are a black dude?????....
Oh....sorry about the fucking fat chicks crack.
Peace, brother.
 
One time, I received an NTTA bill for my wife's car while she was in a coma.

They showed a picture. Same make and model but the license plate was different and the car was olympic white and my wife's car is fire engine red.

I told them the error of their ways and did not pay.

No problems.

Jesus is your wife ok?
Yes. She was in a coma (not medically induced) from July 17, 2021 through the first few weeks of August of that year. Spent all that time in a trauma hospital and the moved to an LTACH where she spent about two weeks and they removed her tracheostomy but she still had the PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) and we transferred her to a skilled nursing facility 09-21-2021. And she has been here since then. Now, she is able to walk for short distances, better with a walker and goes in the wheelchair most of the time.

Her license was up for renewal in 2021 when all of this happened and we could do nothing about it because you have to go in person to present the same birth certificate you provided the first time in order to get a RealID. So, months ago, I made an appointment for February of this year and we surrendered her driver's license and got her an ID card. She physically cannot drive anymore and even though is cognizant and has memories and talks like she used to, she no longer has that awareness you need to drive.

I had not driven her car since August of last year for an MVI. Now, in Texas, a safety inspection is only required on commercial vehicles and is no longer required on private vehicles. Our county of residence is Grayson county, which does not have emissions testing. If it ever did, then we would have to get inspected for that.

So, I drove it a bit recently. I had to pull money out of my IRA to pay for a new roof and siding to keep my high-priced homeowner's insurance. One of the roofers wants to buy the car and my wife doesn't mind if we sell it. I could not find the title, so, I have applied for duplicate title.

Wow! What a saga. Follow through on the duplicate title and sell it while it still runs okay. Unless it’s a classic car and you’re a car guy. Then all bets are off.

Nah. It's a 2008 Pontiac G5. Same body and frame and motor as a Chevy Cobalt. They both used the Toyota 2.2 L. The only difference is grill and dashboard lay-out.

As for the saga, that is the briefest. There were many other scary spots in there. When she was still in the trauma center, she had a mucus blockage on her trache tube and went Code Blue. They performed CPR, which got her pulse started again. And collapsed her lung. Nevertheless, I physically said "Thank you, God." Thank God for well-trained nurses and doctors, too.
