As soon as they clean the horribly messy streets. I might drag it into to driveway in a week or 2 to sort out the crossover that came loose in the door of my car

Gotta love the countless potholes on the roads. It's bloody horrible. Looks like there's been a mini bombing campaign on the roads. I think we must have the worst road infrastructure this side of Afghanistan. I want to buy an SUV as a daily driver because everywhere I go, it feels like I might as well be off roading. I fear for my S2000's suspension! I clearly remember Mayor Mandell's election ads in the fall stating how he had "improved our roads." HAH!

They can sort that out in six days, but we have decaying infrastructure in just about all the major urban centres. Bleah.

Took her out yesterday, drove very carefully out of the ridiculously rutted communities and had a quick run about. It was SO NICE to drive a fun car again. I plan to register her this week and hit the streets by the end of the week, at least around downtown.

I'm eager to put my summer wheels on but all the potholes out there are making me think otherwise, I've never seen it this bad.

^ Think of it as a autoX on the streets. Replace cones with 6" deep potholes

just thought id ask you guys since it probably would feed into the conversation. ive got some summer tires (BS re760) waiting to be mounted onto my AV6. anyone have experience with summer tires around 5 degrees celcius? they work ok or should i really be waiting till later in the season? i was thinking maybe if the temps are around 5 degrees i could try putting them on next week. i have underground heated parking so overnight cold temps wont be as much of an issue.
thanks

Dooo it.
Drive safe and keep your eyes peeled for pot holes, gravel, and puddles.
