Pike Spike - Adam

This past weekend I visited my second cousin Brian Carr at Hiram College. on my way there I had to hop on to Interstate 80 when I departed from the road I had to pay $1.25. Tolls are such a rip and I hate paying them, I pay state tax why should I have to pay again for road maintenance?

so thankfully I devised a turn pike toll avoidance system I like to call the three car conquest. allow me to explain

Now the first thing you'll need for this to work is three cars. now first before I go further this system is only for heavy pike drivers, since I learned it coasts Brian $11 one way to get from Wauseon to Hiram. now once you have three cars the first is your domestic car. this one is old faithful and your favorite to drive. this one is used for when you are home for daily activities.

second is the transporter this car is for pike use only so make sure its a hybrid something low maintenance.

and lastly is your getaway car, this is for destination use only once you arrive at your traveling location. here is how they all go together:

First you drive your domestic car to the pike. (but not to the toll booth) oh no instead you park it in a secret bat cave like hiding spot near the pike.
Next you walk to your transporter car. Now in this car you travel safely and thriftily to and fro on the toll road. "Adam what about gas?" don't worry there are rest stops for just such occasions.
Finally comes the third car. Once you have reached your destination you park your transporter car in another "bat cave" like hiding spot get out and walk to your getaway car off of the pike. this avoids all interactions with the toll booths completely. when you are ready to leave simply repeat the process in reverse order.

"Adam what about the cost of three cars?"
response: with all the money you save on tolls you'll be able to afford a lot more than just 3 cars.

  1. It must be a northern Ohio thing, because I have never ever even seen a toll booth let alone had to deal with one.
