Default i thought Va beach roads were bad

incoming rant!!!

so my new GF goes to VCU and has a condo up there, holy crap i think i need to get my alignment redone. all those roads are just bumpy concrete thrown together with some nice pot holes. some one needs to invest in a street paver.

that is all

marry Christmas.

Yeah man my wife went to VCU and I used to drive down there all the time..thank God I had a 300M and a Mustang GT. Although I had 20's on the 300M the suspension was super soft.

Downtown sucks...but if you get out west near Short Pump (West end) most of the roads are new....

FYI, this friday is a Richmond meet. See RVA thread in the MidA

Norfolk has some of the worst roads ever. Not only are there pot holes everywhere, but the place floods when it sprinkles.

Don't even get me started. 6 months in Richmond and my car squeaks and bounces more than a car without suspension. Richmond roads are terrible. I drive 64 to work every day as well. Grrr.

+1 Richmond roads FTL!!! Drove through there on 64E this Monday coming back from a weekend road trip. And am once again amazed that i didn't end up with a flat at a minimum! I spent the whole time scanning and dodging potholes at 65mph!! It's like the land time forgot there!! But it's still quicker then the I295 Bypass!! lol
