I easily slid under one of the gates on the Sam Houston Tollway here in
Houston when it didn't register my payment. I think they've placed the
arms high up so the pickup truck and SUV drivers can see it. I've also
managed to get in and out of parking garages with just a little upwards
encouragement on the gates.
Hey, Kelvin, as a fellow Buffalo, could you please let me know if Moss
wants to continue its ad in the Houston All British Motor Vehicle Expo
brochure (a measly $25)? We are setting it up after this weekend and
need to know.
Thanks.
