why complain about a pothole then? the tracks are turning into a speed bump compared to what they used to be. they used to be perfect but are now turning worse and worse. some of us don't drive suv's. some of us take care of our cars and don't want to bottom out our suspension.


King Luis, there's no need to argue with someone who clearly suffers from Napoleon complex AND who most definitely sucks at life. Read his past posts...weird, portentous, depressed...


thanks for the heads up.

I find the tracks at on Derry to be much less hazardous at speeds greater than 60 and down right spine breaking at any slower speeds. But then again I'm just in a small little red coupe with sporty suspension. Maybe it's worse in those jacked up station wagons people refer to as SUVs.

Quick list of the top of my head on vehicles who got the slowest over those bumps:

1) Corollas
2) Buses
3) Hummers and other ridiculous big SUVs)
4) Yuppy pick up trucks
5) CUVs

Are the tracks on Tremaine between Britannia/Dundas ever going to be fixed? Man, those are bad.

Update: crews are on site now patching both trouble spots on either side of the tracks.

Update: Did you guys see a 400lb Louie Anderson go head first off the 23 foot platform last night?

I complained about a pothole? No... I didn't say one word about a pothole, although a bad pothole is much worse than slightly rough tracks.

I drive an SUV? Hell no. I drive a sedan.

Your suspension bottoms out over those tracks going the speed limit? Perhaps you should consider a new car, or just replacing your blown out shocks.

You mad bro? Why don't you substantiate some of your claims? You're one of the most despised people on this forum, and I think most people would agree all of those things you called me apply perfectly to your persona on here. I have fun on this forum, and I forgive you for not always detecting the sarcasm and dark humor in my posts. Your posts, on the other hand, almost universally drip with jealousy, resentment, and insecurity.

Fact is, unless your car is broken or a piece of crap, there's no need to slow to below the speed limit over those tracks. If you think there is, you're just not a good driver and/or you don't understand physics. Accept it, and learn something.

++++++++++1

After Corolla/Cavalier drivers, dumb soccer moms driving new SUVs are absolutely the top suspects for slowing down over those tracks.

And yes, driving below the speed limit actually makes it more harsh, but I think we're asking too much of someone of these people -- physics is not something these people understand.
