LOL! :RockOn - not mine:

 

tell the UDOWN guys to do it. guarens they will just for ****s & giggles.

 

Ha ha I really bet that would work, Chris!

 

When I get visitors from Japan, they notice how bad the roads are. My simple answer to that is, "we purposely do it half **** so employment rates stay up" In Japan, the roads are near perfect, and don't see "bandaids" here and there like ours. They do it right the first time. Last time I saw a patch in works here, all they did was pour some asphalt into a hole and then stomping on it with their feet. Couple days later, the patch depressed, and pretty much back to how it was

Pretty soon, our cars will not be street tuned, but "rally tuned"

 

If anything, they should raise the damn speed limits. Not that it would really make any difference though, especially with all the traffic now days. As for the repaving of the asphalt, I remember when I would drool over a newly paved stretch of road. Now, a freshly paved roadway isn't worth squat. The quality of the work done recently has gone down dramatically. It's as if they don't give a rats *ss anymore. Their patch jobs are even worse. And they blocked off 3 lanes on the H-1 East bound the other week to do those cr*ppy *ss patch jobs. WTF?!?! Okay...sorry for the rant. I just think that it's a waste of taxpayers money for them to be making these so called "improvements" to the roadways when it's still a mess after they're done. K, I pau.

 

They should be rally tuned anyway. Japanese roads are not all their cracked up to be. Now you will probably never see a Japanese expressway in the shape that the h1, h2, and h3 are in Hawaii, but regular roads are just as bad as Hawaii many places. The Japanese government does have lots of busy projects to build new roads and repave roads. They also don't take but 1 day to repave a road. I am always amazed when I drive by road construction when the resurface a road and it takes them about an hour to do a few kilometers.

 

I heard on the radio today that Hawaii's roads are rated second worst in a nation wide survey. DOT is fighting that saying the data is from 2006, where it is "way" better in 2008. I don't know, it doesn't seem that much better to me. Becasuse of this, we also have one of the highest spending on repair costs from these roads. I bent two rims in the past because of a pot hole. Are you a statistic?

Maybe the state is purposely doing a crappy job so ppl won't speed...

BTW, anyone know the ph# to this Titanium shop that fixes bent rims? How is their workmanship? Ty.
