Default Damn Boston roads!!!

As :madfawk: if the roads on my trip through PA, NJ, NY, CT, and MA weren't bad enough, the roads in Boston were the worst!

I popped my passenger front tire in some pothole in medium traffic Saturday morning somewhere between Northeastern and Beacon Hill. Everyone was beeping at me because I couldn't move my car enough to the right and I didn't have a spare. Luckily NEXTEL took care of me...

I loved the city, just hated the roads. I must say, of all the state's I passed through, NJ had the smooooooooooooothest roads :thumbup:

not to mention i got a speeding ticket just before getting on the MASS TPK for supposedly doing 73 in 45 - in a toll plaza!?!?! the officer was such an asshole and was definitely profiling me and my friend (out of state, "sports" car, asked when my last speeding ticket was).

Boston po are very strict, it's because of all the crim in section 5, but whatever. The roads, yea they suck but it's because of all the traffic we have. Our grids are sooo fawked up and the roads are so messy, we should just bomb it and start from scratch. Anytime I go into boston I see plenty of tourists on the side of the road with maps and maybe a flat tire, haha I laugh at it though. Were you confused about 128 and 95 at all? Most people get lost easily from 128 and 95.

You were in Boston? You bastard, I could be down there in 45 minutes. h:

And yeah the roads suck down there, I take the Accord on it's 15" bling down to the city. Roads are too rough for anything with 50 series tire or less.

Yup, that is why i rented a car when I went to Boston 2 weekends ago. I don't think my 45 series tires would have survived. Besides, having a Mustang with decent torque is better then a low torque Civic in the city. Every time I go there, the roads are always changing. Always construction going on there. It's a grea city though :thumbup:

Dude you passed right through my neck of the woods on your way to and from Boston. You should have hit me up man.

That sucks about your tire. BTW, how did Nextel help you?
