Take back the keys!

So I smacked a pot hole pretty good last weekend here is the little bugger:



And here is the aftermath:

One blown tire:



And one cracked rim:



It has claimed three rims and 3 tires on three cars and those are just people that I know, and guess what??? its still not filled...bastards should get off their asses and well spend our tax money the way they are supposed to!

New Rd, claimed one of the wheels on my G6 on my birthday back in Feb. When I stopped the tire still was holding some air, refilled it drove home, by the time I reached my house not 5 minutes away the tire was under 20 psi. So I take the wheel off to check it. There was a crack running from inside lip, nearly all the way to the face of the wheel. Total damages $287.77 getting the wheel at cost, tire was salvageable for reuse.

You would think there would be a petition about the roads and lack there of competent work done to them.

I keep repeating this. For every gallon of gas we purchase, we contribute 1/10 of a cent under 50 cents. For this lets just say for every gallon its 50 cents to make it easy for everyone. OK. There are 260,000 adults in Mahoning County. Now lets say half of them buy gas every day. To make it simple being some buy $10 some $20 some $50 lets for simplicity purposes say all 130,000 of those people bought $10 worth of gas, everyone with me so far? Good. At this point thats right around 3 gallons for $10. For every person buying gas that day thats $1.50 contributed to the road fund. 130,000 x $1.50 = $195,000 A DAY......thats $1,365,000 A WEEK.......thats $70,980,000 A YEAR who is pocketing this money? because its obvious its not being used on the roads.

Last thing I ever heard in the news about any funds being used for our roads was when the County rented a COLD PATCH machine for two days (Cost $280,000 for 2 days) to make 200,000 lbs of Cold Patch. Which is a start, being the cold patch stays in the holes no matter the weather conditions, UNLIKE hot patch which usually gets stuck to tires and doesn't stay long, or doesn't set entirely by the time traffic has gone over it and caused it to crest and create mini speed bumps.

your supposed to look at the road when driving, i could see that pothole from outter space... keep your eyes open ... btw that sux, my srt was a victim of a much smaller one last month... wheel is fine just ripped apart the tire

ouch.... those were on the pretty rims?

That ain't shit just ask sabo my road is like driving through a warzone

Yes pretty rims, I have another one coming I think, and I was looking out I couldn't go anywhere there was a car in the other lane normally I went from 45-25 and hit the fucker poop

anywhoo they need to fix the roads!

I already told you, you have AWD, take that shit through the side of the road/ditch.

Shit that sucks, I bent one of my "pretty rims" going down raccoon between 224 and leffingwell....fucking mine field

They finally fixed the pot hole 2 weeks after the fact...

If dodging potholes was a video game, I'd be playing on veteran. I read a news article last month about fixing potholes. Asphaly uses an oil by-product as the glue that holds it together [hence it being black]. Since the price of oil has gone up, the cost for asphalt has also gone up. So cities are now spending more on fixing roads.

It looks like you could have avoided that one by going to the right. You just have to keep an eye out for them. I go on the same roads everyday so I know where they're at. Today they were out patching some of them. So that means I'll have tar all over my car pretty soon. You just can't win.

I know man... Ohio roads suck... I am always bobbin and weavin to get around that shit...
