Another Pot hole!

Came off the 59th street bridge on ramp to Queens blvd, dodge 15 pot holes and missed 1

Boom! Bent my brand new M6 replicas and cut a small slit in the sidewall of the tire. Less than 500 miles on them
Hopefully Whitey's on Atlantic has Hankook Ventus V12's in stock so i can get it fixed

So happy i give nearly half my income away in taxes!

I know this stretch of road...VERY dangerous. Going the other direction into the city is even worse...I was driving Dans car there about 2 months ago and I narrowly missed a sunken manhole cover that was about 6" down...that woulda ripped off both the front and rear wheels on the right side of the car. Right after you pass under the tracks and you do the little S turn..coming up the light I was almost on top of it and narrowly dodged it.

So much easier just to get off at VanDam street and take the upper level..much smoother.

LMAO.

My gf lives in the bronx too and the few times I drive her there, first it takes 2hrs to drive her from Jersey City, through Manhattan, and finally up to the bronx, but after we get there... she hears words come out of my mouth that she didn't know existed.
I've hit potholes so bad that my head hurt and was expecting the airbags to explode. You can't even avoid them because they are everywhere! You miss 10 and while trying to miss the 11th, you end up hitting even a bigger pothole.

She's started to commute with the trains now after seeing the hell that my car has to go through just the get there. It really isn't worth messing up your car or dealing with those idiots in bumper to bumper traffic who don't give a shit if they bump into you. To them it's just an "opsss, let me just wipe that off with my spit".

Astoria is nothing compared to the bronx man.

Only that one street (21st street?) that goes through the projects is bad. Even that street just has humps, to craters like the bronx.

Yea they are being repaired...till winter comes and it starts all over again.

I heard that you can possible get the money from local county for the car damage.... after all we all pay taxes on gas (which supposed to build/fix roads) and registration fees a ridiculous in comparison to other states.....

I came back from the city a few hours ago and I always use the 59th st bridge. Coming off, do you stay in the left or right lane going towards queens blvd? It's better on the left as there's one huge one right in the middle between the two lanes. After that, i just cut right and skip van dam st, go all the way down, and make a left onto the 495

I fkin blew the ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE tires six months ago, NOT EVEN 24 HRS WITH MY NEW 189'S AND PIRELLI'S PZERO NERO'S INSTALLED. I was pissed as hell. It was raining and I couldn't see too well and next thing is, "BUMP..BANG!" Felt like i lit a dynamite next to me.

Oh yeah, and UPPER LEVEL +1MILLION
