The roads in New York are so bad you might as well hang up your hat on a M5 or any other tightly sprung hippity hipo big mill you admire. Most of the time the left lane is the only lane you can drive on as the right lane is 'crumbling' apart. But the left lane is only marginally better. I always get hit with concrete peices from the cars in front of me. The only car you can have here is a 'beater with a heater' boys. Anyone who wants to drive a BMW M5 in this town is jackin themself bigtime....unless you want to ruin your cars suspension and paint. If you look off to the sides of the road, (sometimes in the middle of the road)you see parts of cars all over the place. This is a direct result of the beautiful potholes, sinkholes, craters, cracks, chunks of concrete, salt, sand (for a sandblasted undercarraige as you drive) and whathaveyou!
All you southern boys and Californians aint seen nuthin! Come on up to upstate NY and I will give you a tour! There is this place called Binghamton, NY where its famous for one of two things: No road repair, or inferior road repair. Most of the time, they 'just leave it' as they (the politicians) just pocket the road repair money..they why NY has the highest taxes in the nation. These poor Californinas paying 45% more for their power is a joke! NY has been paying 14 cents/KWH for years and years! The 'poor Californians' are going to be paying 10-12 cents/KWH....boo hoo! At least your roads are nice. Binghamton, NY has a truck that drives around with a sign on the doors that reads 'Mr Pothole' (I am not kidding you). This is manned by a couple of yahoo's that you can call on the 'Mr Pothole' hotline and ask them to 'fix' a hole. These yahoo's drive to the location and throw some 'cold patch' in the hole and drive away. This is what NY state taxpayers get for the highest taxes in the nation. Is this proper road repair? The kicker is that you would think at some time during the year, they would come back and fix it right? NOT HAPPENEN HERE BOYS. So, what have we learned? Leave your M5 at home next time you visit the NorthEast.
