Well you really gotta have a super car to even get up to 80 on the Garden
State Parkway since they put the mortar forking toll barriers about every
half-mile.  Gives you just enough distance to get up to a slow cruise then
you slow down for the next toll.  Hardly seems worth shifting out of first
gear.  What a detestable excuse for a road.  Fortunately I very rarely go
that route.
