All of the roads. Be thankful you don't live here, and if you do, may god have mercy on your suspension.

Michigan is similar. Its less wavy, and more craters though. Everywhere!

The same here, this is just an example of the average, the bad stuff is sheer ice, 2-3+ inches off the road and wavy as hell. I literally don't even enjoy leaving my house. Also I don't know if it's as cold in MI but its -15 right now without the wind chill so theres that.

Once all the ice melts that's what the roads in the Metro area look like since they have never heard of fixing pot holes. Miserable isnt it? There is a pot hole at a ski area where I coach snowboarding right by my school that is literally over 10 inches deep, I watched the maintenance guys fill it with gravel and it's still gnarly.

Yep, similar in N.W. Ohio as well. I've never seen the roads as bad as they are now, and I've been driving since the mid 1980's. Even recently repaved roads are heaved up in places. That's what you get for going with the lowest bidder all the time.

Honestly I should just move to Hawaii, or Florida, or Nevada. Somewhere that only gets to 50 degrees in the middle of winter.

Exactly like us. We also had two bridges that collapsed, a bunch of bridges falling apart with drivers having huge rocks dropping on their cars which totalled them. The government say that most bridges are ok to drive on despite them falling apart...

Alaska looks like this for generally about 6 months of the year (October through May). We actually have a time of year that's called "Spring Breakup" because that's what all the ice is melting and breaks into pieces all over the road and then shot into your car by the cars in front of you.

The potholes are hidden by the layer of ice, come late march I will regret living here.

I drive like a granny because some of the potholes around me are deeper than my suspension can travel. Considering the car is getting progressively worse and I lack the funds for any fixes on it, it's getting bad.

I have some noise from the passenger side control arm I think, but it's not consistent, definitely from a pothole. I just wish I could bill the town/county/state for it all.

the pothole that broke my tire this weekend was in PA and not jersey. I was happy to drive over jersey potholes after getting out of pa, it was sooo bad.
