Benjamin-

Were they the tolls on the MASS PIKE by any chance. Man I slipped all over
the place yesterday trying to get onto the PIKE when it was pouring out.
That sucked because some "freakin" Nissan or something took off, and I
tried to catch but that 1.5 second delay resulted in me being behind like 5
cars, so I let him go. The answer to your ?  though, would be GARRET. I
personally have not invested in one yet (soon though) but it is far and
beyond the overall choice on the list. The archives are great for comparing
the 3. Take a look......
