Yeah, 193 is a shithole no matter what. Thankfully I have no need to use it or head down in that direction.

Guess I've been lucky so far -- have been able to catch them AND have the swerve option -- have hit some smaller ones. Definitely a difference hitting'em in the Z vice the Truck!

Noticed a crew working on Backlick Road today (one of my alt routes to Ft. Belvori) -- there are a few doozies on Braddock Rd & 7100 -- hope VDOT will get to them soon!!!

BREAK, BREAK

Hey Jon -- my Fat Gecko arrived today -- will probably be a few weeks before I get to do some test mounts/shots, but it appears to be pretty rugged. Switched from the Sticky Pod to the Gecko after our discussions and a little research -- thanks!

No worries, it was Lance (toohip) who originally turned me onto the Fat Gecko. I'm still waiting for mine but it should here this week. So there will be at least three of us who have the Gecko to video on the way down for ZdayZ.

Well, to their credit, the ones I am talking about are probably less than 24 hours old. We'll see tomorrow if they've been patched.

Have you ever drive in I-64?

Its pretty shitty in MD too...

Ashton Ave in Manassas is a mess. You need a moon rover to drive that road.

I will have to agree with that even that I have not driven down in PR for over a year.

They've actually cleared a lot of them out already. In fair lakes they're pretty much gone, 66 is okay, and 28 is fine.

The worst one I saw all season was on the outer loop near braddock road. I hit it going 70ish and I thought my rim was destroyed, but it looks fine. Hopefully thats fixed.

m4a1mustang 03-17-2010 08:42 PM

They cleared out the ones that I was talking about in the first post, which is nice. They've been pretty good at responding to the major potholes within 24 hours.
