While driving homes the last two times I hit a pothole on the Jackie Robinson Pkwy. It made a really Loud bang and I was screaming in the car.
Everything seems to be ok, though.
Sometimes this area feels like a third world country. Fix the damn roads! This Is a disgrace.

With all this back to back snow storms the road crews aren't able to keep up, once they take the plows off and start patching another storm comes and plows go back on. Plus the asphalt plants aren't open this time of year so they're just using the cold patch at this time

We're busy fixing Iraq's roads. We built Germany and Japan's roads. And me and you are paying for it.

I live on springfeild blvd and i drive on the LIE everyday. I hit a pothole getting off my exit with my 2010 X6 5.0i and ripped the run flat completely off and cracked the rim. god knows what else i did to my suspension sounded like a gunshot went off inside my car. Thank GOD i wasnt driving my 335xi with 19" rims!!!

The solution for me thus far has been the train and spending days at home. These roads are horrible and with every re-freeze it will only get worse...

I wish I could take my job and pay to Florida, then I could imagine doing it. NYC roads have cost me so much money in tires/rims, etc. I could have saved that money or modded the car up by now.

im beginning to like colorado a lot more haha. no pot holes here

[onebadmofo]

Bronx River Pkwy just now. The bridge that goes over the rail road right before exit 10. All of a sudden I see traffic, cop blocks 2 out of 3 lanes. In the lane that is open there's a pothole that I could barely fit between my wheels, in the other 2 is a freaking sinkhole.
Right after that over 20 cars with popped tires including 2-3 beemers

[bknight]

Yeah, it's a total joke right now (as always this time of year especially). There was just a report on the local news about numerous people with blown tires on the Henry Hudson.

Parts of Manhattan are beyond embarrassing with the state of the roads.

[captainaudio]

I haven't taken the car out since early January and I think it will be several weeks before I do. I out a battery tender on it for a few hours today.

This trend to large rims and ultra low profile tires is not really condusive to the driving conditions in NYC.

i feel like hittin potholes in our cars just feels so much worst than in other cars. i feel like a rally car driver here. its terrible.

[dr3dayy]

Lets not get into the BQE and Williamsburg bridge on the right lanes going into manhattan the plows shaved off the roads... We should all just complain to 311... I also heard the DOT would reimburse you to damages done on your wheels or tires caused by pot holes previously reported,

[dr3dayy]

ps. and im riding on style 230 wheels my car is mostly parked.

"The suspension is an all or nothing affair; either it absorbs everything, working brilliantly to control body motions and absorb the nastiest of road grit, bumps ans heaves or it runs out of travel crashing violently into the bump stops. It could do with some better damping, softer, progressive bump stops would be a welcome change."

Heheh he said "Pot Hole"...

[BMWsky]

This year is horrible due to all the bad weather. Driving anywhere in the northeast is like playing medal of honor.

[redline2001]

Even when they patch the potholes in the spring our roads will still remain shitty. I say this because the roads can not continue to be patched, they need to be repaved. We have been doing bullshit repair jobs the last 30 years and the result is what we have now.

[DrDurt]

i try to commit all the potholes to my memory for my daily commutes. These plows are chewing up the roads everyday...I cant imagine NYC

I get even more mad when it makes my cd skip

[Coolieman1220]

you need a PHD to drive here with these roads. Who knew you'd need a "Pothole Dodger" Certification to drive on these roads!
