Potholes you say?

onebadmofo · 10-07-2010, 12:02 PM

Did I mention it's just a few blocks away from Times Square (51&7)?

BimmerB · 10-07-2010, 12:04 PM

How can the city leave it like that without putting a cone there or around it? I f*king hate NY roads.

LeMans335xiE90 · 10-07-2010, 12:10 PM

DrDurt · 10-07-2010, 12:46 PM

Alan l. · 10-07-2010, 12:53 PM

Damn i work down the block from there. This is why i can't have 5K rims in NYC

achilleus · 10-07-2010, 01:00 PM

Been driving in NYC almost every weekend, this does not surprise me at all.

gtrokin330 · 10-07-2010, 01:38 PM

mlee4984 · 10-07-2010, 02:01 PM

If you can't avoid that, you shouldn't be driving at all...

I honestly dont see potholes at night. Also, its like bumper to bumper traffic in the city most of the time. So you wont be able to see that. If there's no traffic, your 1st instinct is to swerve out of the way, but remember you're in the city with a lot of tourists and cabbies. So my 6k rims are byebye, but at least i didnt hit anyone.

But the ditch/pothole is in the middle of the lane, so it looks avoidable.

Jonny550 · 10-07-2010, 03:18 PM

i hate bringing my car to the city.

If you don't see potholes, you should give me the keys to your new E92!

If it's bumper to bumper, you're going 5-10 mph so you can't miss a canyon that size!
How fast are you driving on local streets!?

**EDIT** If you position the left and right wheels perfectly, you may be able to go right through it...

Yes at night, I cant see potholes. Hell in the day, I cant even see 5 o right on the side of the road while I'm driving/zooming by. LOL I'm dead serious too. My friends would always say, didnt you see the cop?

Bumper to bumper traffic, of course I would see the car in front of me do a dance, but in bumper to bumper traffic my hood is already on top of the pothole. I'm short too, soooo I dont get to see over the hood as you tall people can.

I got E90 =P

How fast on local... I plead the 5th, but I'm older now... sooooo I stopped being stupid
