Driving through L.A. sucks

Had to drive through L.A. on the 5 North and South yesterday and let me tell you, that freeway just plain blows. Especially in my RX-8. Soo bumpy, jarring, and pot-hole ridden. Where the hell does our tax money go?

our highway system is a way to create jobs, not roads.

I hate LA freeways. Too much traffic, and headaches. One of the main reasons keeping me from moving down there.

i've lived in la my whole life and i can't remember once ever seeing a pothole on the freeway. maybe on the divider or in a construction zone, but never just in the middle where you can actually run one over.

The potholes begin as soon as you hit LA county.

710 has to be the worst, it has the most big rig traffic!!! My vote is the 710 as the worst.
