Re: [MBZ] OT: EZ Pass transceiver
Some years ago we spent about 10days touring around seeing a lot of the ancient sites, stayed in little towns and hotels and ate at local restaurants. It was really wonderful. Amazingly enough every place we stayed the innkeeper either had retired from some business (restaurant, hotel) in the US and had kids working there now, or had some relative living in the states. They loved talking about the States and speaking English, and were really nice. One guy at a little place in Korinthos had a Greek Hoosier accent, I remarked on that, he said he had been in Indianapolis for 30 years with a restaurant, came back "home" to Greece and bought this little hotel, one son who was maybe 19 was working there to learn the trade, another was back in Indy with the restaurant or something. It was great. The food was amazing, the wines were excellent (well, except for the homemade stuff, I bought a 2L bottle of something at a market in some little town, some home brew, and it was awful!). I'd live there. On another note, back in the 80s I had a friend in Boston who was from Athens, he was supposedly a professor at the University, and apparently was getting paid by the university, for what he was never clear about, but he would have to go back every 3months or so for a week and put in an appearance. I got the sense that a job was sorta a job for life, you had to pretend to "work" and could get paid. His wife was something in the consulate in Boston, not sure what, and she got paid big money for the overseas "hardship" assignment, they had an apartment in one of the tall buildings downtown, the Pru or Hancock I forget which, which I'm sure the consulate was paying for. They lived a really nice life. He had this Jaguar XJ6 I think he had shipped over, it was like a 78 or so, BRG/biscuit interior, very low miles, beautiful shape. I told him if he ever wanted to sell to let me know. So at some point he says he sold it, I ask why he didn't tell me, he says OH I asked M (my now-ex wife) if I was still interested and she said no. He sold it for next to nothing.

Re: [MBZ] OT: EZ Pass transceiver
Sure there is political corruption in Greece as there is here but rampant voter fraud is virtually unheard of. Voter ID is required in Greece as it is in the rest of Europe. In Greece your vote counts. Here on the other hand? If you don’t have secure elections, your country is a banana republic. We are a banana republic... Sure the tax system is problematic but they have largely fixed that. But at least it is not weaponized against one political group or the other like it is here- Lois Lerner. Anyway, I don’t want to get too political here. I’ve lived in both countries, and all I can say is that if you don’t need to make a living in Greece, the quality of life there is many orders of magnitude better than it is here.

Re: [MBZ] OT: EZ Pass transceiver
Pick your state and Google "EZ pass *state name*" Each state gives you a different incentive. I chose NH because it gives a discount on all NH tolls. MA only discounts a couple tunnels in Boston that I rarely use, ME discounts after a certain number of trips per month that I'll never hit so NH made the most sense for us. -Curt On Friday, July 22, 2022 at 11:36:22 AM EDT, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote: How do I get an ezpass freedom infringement device? --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jul 22, 2022, at 11:11 AM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote: > > we don't have cash lane on the Newport (RI) bridge. only EZ pass & plate > camera > >> On Fri, Jul 22, 2022, 2:27 AM Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes < >> mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >> >> EZ pass is too big brother for me.

I-40 isn’t a toll road anywhere I've driven on it. You’ve got all those rural state highways that are toll.

I didn’t have any change, so I just drove through.

OK is working on going plate pay, which it is on a few toll roads. You can’t really get into and out of major cities or across the state without running into toll roads.

Re: [MBZ] OT: EZ Pass transceiver
No, it’s fraught with political patronage. That, and partisan polarization isn’t ideological as it is here, it’s strategic, as in the parties trying to hold the state and control it’s resources. In other words, the party in power uses inducements to try and and recruit non-ideological voters that are ambivalent. Party competition is based on populist ideals (the rich versus the poor, for example.) This is what happened in 2012 when extreme pluralism took place and fringe groups gained a significant number of seats in Parliament. Much of their fiscal problems revolve around these issues - the old sociopolitical arrangement where voters and politicians coordinated their actions, with individuals benefitting from the state at the expense of public good. Shall we talk about the tax system and how well it works? No place is perfect. It’s all a matter of what’s most important to the individual. -D > On Jul 22, 2022, at 7:12 AM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes > wrote: > > The election process in Greece is not fraught with fraud.

Re: [MBZ] OT: EZ Pass transceiver
The reduction in toll booths has really sped up traffic. MA has no toll booths at all anymore, they just bill you by mail. Apparently NY has seen the light and is going the same way. Get an EZ pass and you don't need to worry about it. We drove the GW through NYC a couple months ago, IIRC the whole deal was $10-$15. Not bad all things considered. We went through just after lunch and it wasn't too bad traffic wise. Going through NYC is definitely cheaper although the new bridge that replaced the Tappan-Zee is pretty nice and traffic scoots along pretty good out there too. -Curt On Friday, July 22, 2022 at 09:37:22 AM EDT, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: Hey what's it like driving up into Oppressionland these days up I-95 from DC to BOS?

The sooner you get your velcro replaced, the sooner you will start running up your bill for tolls. And that makes them very happy.

Re: [MBZ] OT: EZ Pass transceiver
We have both the “stick on” and suction cup style transceivers. When I had to replace a windshield a while back on one of our cars with the stick on transceiver, I peeled it off of the old windshield and just taped it to the new one. The Sunpass FAQ has all sorts of warnings about why you’re not supposed to do this, but since it’s nothing more than an RFID chip, I saw no reason why it mattered. I made sure the area around the chip wasn’t damaged when I took it off. And it didn’t. Saved myself the $5 they gig you for a new one. -D > On Jul 21, 2022, at 7:19 AM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > wrote: > > The EZ Pass transceiver in my Jetta fell off the windshield a couple weeks > ago.
