Default Screwed up repairs on HWY 101 from San Jose to Palo Alto WARNING!

I just took that path and my car is fairly lowered...ALL bad, not to mention rock chip debris EVERYWHERE, take hwy280 or streets if you can, all bad on lowered cars, low profile tires, and low situated body kits; heads up and I have no clue when this is gonna be fixed!

I hate 101. One of the worst freeways i've ever been on. Caltran better get their acts together and spend their time making our roads better instead of just sitting their and eat donuts...

Yeah, I just took that route this afternoon & they have some road work mostly from the mid to furthest right lanes. I stayed on the carpool lane & it wasn't too bad.

Thanks for the heads up. I was going to go to Dave & Busters this Friday from SF. I guess I'll take the long way on 280.

also be careful near moffet field on 101, there are a couple of new uneven pavements there on the fast lanes, saw those today but it was too late, though did nothing bad to may car, im pretty sure those can bend a rim or two if you have low profile tires.

Holy crap those were bad! Good thing I wasn't driving my Z but I saw a bunch of accidents around that area which I'm assuming was caused by all the road work.

yeah I had to drive on that crappy freeway where they dug everything up last sunday. What the hell is taking them so long to pave it?! At least clean up the rocks a little better.. daymn Maybe we should all complain to the state so they can do something about it.
