and yea basically no fighting it... purely a money scheme but at least no insurance or license repercussions
did you know about the camera? if i were you i'd check out the intersection in google street view to see if there was a sign letting you know, where i am at least the county is required to indicate an upcoming camera

The picture is small, but it kind of looks like Isle of Man Green with stealth (matte) PPF. But IOMG was a launch color for the G8X M3/M4, and wasn't available (even as Individual) when the M6 was in production.
I can't find any current color in the M8 Individualizer that looks like it either. So I'm going to guess it's a wrap.

I just looked it up - if you didn't have EZ Pass, that Mid-County to Clark's Summit leg on the PA Turnpike jumps from $14.90 to $30.90.
So, on the one hand, people may not realize what the tolls are when they don't pay cash; but on the other hand, they try and "encourage" you to use EZ Pass by charging a lot more without it.

I know in MD we have toll breaks if the EZPass is a MD one. The Tydings Bridge and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge are examples.

For tolls, if you don't have EZ Pass they send you a bill at the registration address.
Some people
a) scrape off the lettering on their plates
b) use clear covers over the plate that blocks it from certain angles
c) put a leaf or a business card underneath the license frame to block of individual digits on the plate
d) change the letters by painting over it. For example- F made into an E
Once in a while the MTA will do a major ticket and impound at bridges and tunnels but not much enforcement.

We have cameras for red lights, speeding that started out as around school zones but now everywhere, and for tolls.

If they are spotted by a cop, and get pulled over for that, there is (probably) a big fine. And, to be honest, I can't say I have a lot of sympathy for people who do that.
Oh, and you forgot one..........some people drive around with stolen plates.

Edit: I bet it had this Kyalami orange interior that I mistook for baseball glove. I only caught a quick glimpse of it as the driver got into the car. Here's an M3 with the same color config. https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/08/13/2...erior-idrive-8

Either way, PA Turnpike definitely doesn't require the transponder to be from them for the EZ Pass rate.
