    I will be uploading some common routes that i take and have some of the most crappy roads with deep pot holes, massive cracks, unrepaired roads that have not seen any progress in getting better and i will be also recording me entering gas stations/ fast foods places to show that my body kit makes my ride lower and harder to get in n out lol

    This was my daily route to school, not much damaged roads but its still bad and has been like that since i was born...


    This is using some of our highway, notice how bad highway 5 is? they say by 2015 they will be fixed and expanded.


    Using some of the industrial roads, these have been bad my whole life and i use these all the time for the post office, i see they are making a new highway enterance to 5 but they wont fix the streets...


    ya might be boring but if you got nothing better to do i guess watch it, these are unedited to they will be long

    lol... that car with the orange body kit... and then your "FAIL!!!" haha . at least your car is all one color.

    And then I saw that huge dip in the road all scraped up, yeah you hit that one good.

    And I'll say that the highway is worse than around here, but otherwise, those roads and dips and bumps are normal.

    When you change your suspension, you'll learn how to avoid all those bumps like a cool person haha.

    and you could've parked closer lol.

    ya lol its been pretty sunny these past days but still around 65, i might paint my fender and see if it comes out good to paint the whole car blue already...

    most i try to avoid but there was no traffic, usually its full and the middle lane goes very slow so i would have to take the side next to the curb.

    im uploading one with the highway thats hella fucked up

    no need to, no school duh!! i just went to make the video but usually i park there cuz the other spots are already taken by the time i get to school, 1 1/2 week left :D

    Yeah I watched all those vids. I actually like watching stuff like that, especially of different parts of the world. You guys have some weird traffic signals lol. And you drove through some ground zero on your way home from the PO lol.
    Being a passenger in your car is just like mine. Same loud, slow, automatic Toyota engine haha. But jeez, everyone goes really slow there? We go a lot faster here.

    But I can see what you mean about the roads. Sure, your camera mount really exaggerated everything (I'm surprised it never shifted or moved, just shaked), but you can see the road condition before you bump over it.

    The difference there and here is that your road surfaces are really old. Here, they are constantly resurfacing everything, especially the highways. But in doing so, they are always rushing it, so the "new" surface has lots of bumps and waves, especially at manholes and bridges. And it doesn't last long. So the pavement always looks nice, unlike yours, but the bumps are there.

    Although Baltimore city streets are different. They are honestly worse than in those videos..... I bike through some god forsaken parts of town lol. I'll have to make a video some time.

    After I install my coilovers, I should take a video and see what happens.

    In the first one my two first thoughts were as follows:
    **cBass getting in the car**
    "How many fucking keys does this guy have?"
    **music starts, camera starts shaking**
    "Well I can see how this is gonna go lol"
    But yeah dude the 5 is garbage all the way to Mexico. There's one really bad street over near me, I'll make a video of it. I am just gonna have to hold it though, I'm not gonna tape or strap anything lol. And it's not insanely bad, but one dip is pretty steep, lots of scrapes ground into it lol

    it's not a fast car, until you line it up with the Corolla (mine anyway)... it was definitely an improvement. I've getting pulled over a lot more now lol.
