Re: potholes...oh god the potholes!!!
I've lived in NYC for a few years and, man, the roads there are the pits! I almost got myself killed a few times trying to avoid potholes. After that, I just decided I could not care about my car anymore.
Ahh... after many years of going to grad school in Hartford, Ct, living in NYC, and doing internship in Philly, I came back home to Seattle, WA. It's so nice. Potholes are hard to find here, especially in the suburbs where I live. Milk smooth asphalt roads all around.... damn, I love it.
Oh.. sorry to those who live on the moon.. I mean Michigan...and NYC..
