Not only is Los Angeles designed like they let some drunk play a real life version of Sim City, I’m pretty sure that the actual roads are designed to destroy the cars that drive on them everyday. I don’t think there is a single stretch of smooth pavement longer than 50 feet. With the amount of driving I do here, I’m amazed my car hasn’t been rattled to pieces yet. It makes the most sense that the car dealerships in Los Angeles made some kind of deal with the city for them to pave really crappy roads, therefore dishing out some heavy wear and tear on car, forcing people to buy new ones sooner than they normally would. Yep, that’s my theory.
This wouldn’t be an issue if I had a flying Delorean or one of those George Jetson cars. 2008 my ass.

Until you live in Michigan and hit pot holes large enough to swallow a conversion van, you don’t know what crappy roads are.
I had the liberty of hitting a pot hole last week that flattened not one, not two, but three friggin’ tires.

Ouch. Thats gotta suck

Sure did. I love spending money I had planned to use on a spa day to replace three damn tires.

Must be nice to be able to afford Spa Days

It’s very nice, thank you very much.
I work hard for my monthly indulgence. Pedicures and facials are a girl’s best friend.

Maybe I am spoiled living in Ohio, but when I see a pothole I just email the city and within 48 hours the hole is filled.
On a side note, if the government was smart they would spend $160 billion on improving the infrastructure of our country (paving roads). Instead they give us a $600 check to spend on something made in China. I am not complaining I will gladly take the check from the government…which is actually my money anyway when you think about it.. and happily put it in my checking account.

Oh my, if I emailed the city every time I saw a pothole, I wouldn’t have time for anything else. I heard on the radio this morning that tons of people like myself have had multiple tires flatten because of the roads. I think Michigan is the only state with roads this horrible. MDOT (Michigan Dept of Transportation) keeps the roads shitty. It’s their way of keeping job security, the rat bastards.

Then move out of Michigan and come to a better state, O-HI-O

HELL-TO-THE-NO! I’m a Michigander through and through.

yet your name is “Steel City Gal”…
I’m confused…

I love love love Pittsburgh. Wish I could live there. But family is in Michigan now so that’s where I shall stay.
That explanation should be simple enough that even slow folk aren’t confused…

I guess I’ll start calling myself DCD…
D.C. Dude…
nevermind, that would be retarded
March 5th, 2008 at 11:14 am
Uhm, yeah, retarded.

Yea Chicago isn’t a walk in the park either.
Gone through 3 tires and because a fucking truck went through the pothole BEFORE me, 2 windshields.
