Yes, they are probably factory wheels, as there were several models in that
time period that had staggered wheels. Different widths, different profiles as
well. It does make a difference in how the car handles, for sure.

Not an option for SunPass - they no longer take cash tolls. If you don’t want
to do a transceiver, they send you bills based on your plate number that
include some outrageous administrative fees.

My brother, a (now-retired) professional mechanic. He was willing to pay
for the lifetime warrantee, on a tool good enough to rarely need replacement,
and daily delivery to his workbench via the tool truck if it did.
The election process in Greece is not fraught with fraud. We invented
democracy. We know how it’s done.

I think nearly all of the toll authorities are getting rid of cash lanes for
the obvious reasons. I know they’re gone in the Orlando area, and that’s a huge
mess of toll roads, no doubt to separate all the touristas from their money. I
think south Florida just ditched them, too. I-95 is toll
A lot of places don't have a cash lane anymore. They take a photo of your plate
and send you a bill for the toll, plus a "convenience fee."

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
Around here, license plate violations don't seem to be enforced much anymore.

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. Surprisingly I40 that runs damn near across the whole country
is not toll thru OK. Just about all other interstates are.
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 remember when I was
driving the 2002 E320 home from your neighborhood and I hit one of the little
automated toll collection baskets getting on to one of them. I didn’t have any

Thanks for the link!
The rears are Extensa type 275/40R18. Looks like they also have the
front size 245/45R18, at least what's on there now. They have several
