Any "TOLLS" involved in this venture?  I do not have E-Z pass. Will that put me behind or ahead of "DAD"?

Get a photo of his head & plate. When we "blow thru" the booth they will see him and his plate number on 24 Vettes.

Yep, the "Grand Island Bridge"  tolls.  Just keep a couple bucks in quarters in your ashtray. I think the toll is .50 or .75 cents. I'll probably take a quick run up that way to check.

Shocked  "ASH TRAY"!  Have you seen a 1972 Corvette ash tray?  I,m thankful my lip balm will fit in it. I'll bring some $1.00 singles and a roll of Washingtons.  Guess I should have bought Dave's cup holder. Big smile  We'll be ready, don't leave us in the booth.  THANKSHandshake

Well Dave C. and myself could fix that tiny ashtray issue. LOL

We won't leave anyone behind at the tolls. If traffic allows we'll all line up off to the right shoulder or just roll slow in the right lane.

Trust me, NY'ers have zero patients and will just race around you like a lunatic. I've lived here most of my life and I can't stand the drivers here. Angry

Handshake  YUP!  I agree. I live on the border, and get lots of offenders. Mostly on week-ends when the city empties out and they land in our county.

Grand Island bridges are $1.  At least from he south, not sure what the charge is from the north, probably the same.

Dang! A buck! Wth?! 
Well it's been since 2006 since I traveled up that way. After I retired from the Niagara Falls Air Force base I never have been back up through that way. Confused

I too made a trip to Bair's today and can report that there are no toll roads between my house and Bair's but then again its only 2 miles . there is one traffic light in Linesville so you will have to make a left hand turn. I am so looking forward to meeting the people that make this site such a helpful joy .see ya Sat.
