LA roads suck in most areas but there are some real nice ones too.

i hear 405's going to be shut down for repairs or something. GL to you socal people.

hahaha.

In about two weeks they will be closing the 405 N&S in one of it's busiest sections. They have dubbed it " Carmegeddon"

The biggest problem in my area is the hills, there are areas I know I will never be able to take my Z so I literally take routes that are at least 5 minutes longer.

lol @ carmegeddon..

but that's going to be some SERIOUS economic impact for the locals that have stores, etc in the affected areas, no?

yah, when i lived in LA long time ago i too had to take alternate routes cause my modded car was just too damn low and stiff.

I've always imagined California to have the most amazing roads....I only have Florida for comparison and those roads are amaazing, and great driveways...usually none, they just cut into the sidewalk lol

Amazing roads? pffft. My teeth are still chattering from the bumpy hell that is the 91 freeway!

if you ever take a visit to nyc, you'll see how good you have it in cali. the roads are absolute sh1t here. i hear people scrapping their subframes and cracking oil pans with dropped rides here. it was a dream driving in cali when i went a few years ago

You'll get used to avoiding pot holes in time. It takes a few good ones to learn your lesson haha.

You're gonna scrape that front piece of plastic under the front end at a minimum, it's inevitable even at stock ride height. Just a matter of time in Cali.
