BUT philosophically Rex is right (the lesser of two evils is the toll)

I don't like it but I like it better than my gas being a nickel more a gallon until the end of fucking time.

yes - in case i wasn't clear, emotionally the toll pisses me off from a mismanagement and abuse standpoint.  but 100% agreed that if you HAVE to get ramrodded by the suits on this issue, the toll is much less impactful financially.

your average everyman Shenandoah/Roanoke valley'er probably drives a pickemup truck that averages maybe 15mpg combined.  you'd surpass the toll with gas tax on running that truck 40-50 miles a day in no time.

on a side note, i LOVE blasting through Christiansburg between Roanoke and VT so much almost entirely because of the 3 lanes.  its amazing how much time you can make up when you can get around the elephant racing.

I'm with you on the 3 lanes between Roanoke and Christiansburg.  When I commuted to Radford 3 days a week from H'burg it was the best part of my drive.  I would totally pay $30 a year to drive toll free on I81.  I mean, I use I 81 to go to the gym and back to work.  My work is right off the interstate  (I can see the interstate from my desk) and I cannot begin to tell you how many times the interstate is stopped because of an accident.  I mean....its a fucking joke...a fucking ridiculous joke... Also, trucking companies are a shit show.  Mismanaged and even though they pay well, they attract some of the most useless souls out there.
