Too long a winter, and just plain nasty road conditions.
Last time the car was on the road was November.
Took it out for a 30 mile round trip, interrupted by the driving range.
Roads here are still in pathetic shape. It's a damn slalom out there, and still hit one nasty hole, despite trying to be really alert and diligent.
Hit it on the Meadow brook parkway near the coliseum. A no trucks allowed road.
Hoping the overpaid and underworked public employees responsible are going to correct years of neglect and fix what needs to be fixed. Pot holes do not just show up because of unusually bad winters. They are the end result of cracks and spaces in the road (allowing water to get under the road surface) due to lack of maintenance and general neglect.
Time to start a pothole patrol and control the agencies that do a sub standard job in these parts.

Still in hibernation here, we had snow last week. Just waiting for a few good rains to wash all the crap off the roads, the crews have already started their spring repair/repave work. I'll probably put mine on the road May 1.

New York roads are still in pretty bad shape as well. I have had mine out only twice for real short rides since November. Today looks like its going to be a nice day and I am going upstate to my first car show. It don't really matter to me about winning a trophy or anything like that, But I am SUPER EXCITED that I'll be driving my car today!
