Sep 5 2008Guy Ghetto Rigs License Plate Flipper
Orlando Payano is a Queens truck driver that doesn't like paying tolls. So what did he do? Simple, he jerry-rigged a license plate flipper.
Apparently, Orlando Payano mounted his license plate on a hinged piece of metal then ran an attached cable through his cigarette lighter. When he went through a toll booth, all he had to do is pull the cord and abracadabra! No license plate caught on camera.
Everything was going smoothly until a Port Authority officer spotted Payano's disappearing plate in action. Orlando has denied the existence of the cable system and insists he pays tolls with an EZ-Pass tag. Good luck arguing that to the judge, Orlando. Tip: Now's the time to start working out and/or juicing, lest you find yourself in the slammer with your own EZ-Pass tag -- on that ass.

That idea was stolen from me. Q fixed me up with the flip over tags in every one of my motorcars. Of course since we are from the country of Europe its ok for Americans to steal our ideas as their own.
Did he have a big metal sheild in the back to deflect bullets? PEWPEWPEW
How about an oil slick and a smoke screen?
And the most useful one, the after date rape ejection seat - for when the bitch is no longer useful.

Apparently he doesn't like paying registration fees either. If he's from queens and registered in NJ, he's got another scam going as well.

Hey Bond, I've never heard of this country called Europe. Is it near the country of England?
7. bond, james bond - September 5, 2008 5:49 PM
nope, it's near the country of Africa, which is next to the country of Asia

This internet was much more funner when it was only America on it. Who let these foreign bastards in anyhow? Europe has its own money, so its a country.
I can almost hear their stupid accents and smell their loads of cologne through their posts.
Note to the citizens of the country of Europe. Perfume doesn't cover up your stank, it adds to it.

Emma - remember when i stole your soul, and made cookies out of it? I gave them to the drunk wino down the street (also known as your dad). He's about to vomit, so maybe you can get it back, but you might need to wash it first. Whore fish.

Fake!
Its a total photoshop job. The shadows are all wrong!

I really wonder where this was taking place, not in Queens. Most all of the tolls have the bars that raise when you pay the toll. If you don't pay you sit and wait for the Port Authority cop.

@2, Mythbusters? I think not.
My license plate is made of fondant and jelly because jam is for suckers.
