Oh please..............don't try to play the pothole card...........I guarantee I have you beat.

O.K.....I wasn't going to say anything about this, as it might get me laughed off the forum, but here goes.....Last week I was on my way over to a buddies place, I had to take a stretch of road to get the expressway. This piece of "road", if you want to all it that, was soo full of GIANT holes that it was all I could do to stay on the road. Here I am just creeping down a 50 MPH road at about 30. Cop pulls up and hits the light, I pull over thinking WTF? He comes up to the window and I'm ready with the license, registration, and insurance. Cop asks if I know why I'm being stopped, to which I answer "I have no idea". He says I was going TOO SLOW, and was a danger to traffic as nobody would be expecting me to be travelling so slow on that stretch of road! I didn't get a ticket.....just a warning.

I reeeeaaallly felt like telling him if he was so worried about the public safety he'd pick up a damn shovel and start filling in the craters in the road, but I just bit my lip and kept quiet!

Any of you michiganders in the area.....avoid Van Dyke road north of 16 mile. You'll spend more time avoiding holes than looking at the idiots driving around you! If you ever wanted to know what it's like driving in a shelled out town....try Sterling Heights!
