Edgewater Manhole Madness
Was driving slow in Edgewater the other day due to the FUCKING SILLY amount of RAISED manhole covers that scrape and beat the shit out of your rims and underbody if not careful.
This douchebag didn't understand why I was driving so slow (he didn't even speak english) and braked in front of me and opened his car door. When he got out other people who were watching told him to go fuck off and started taking camera pics of him being a douche bag trying to start a fight. Wow. I know there are haters but use your fucking head. Who would be stupid enough to hit a raised manhole cover full speed?!?!? ./rant off at asshole haters that don't speak english |

And don't forget you can't even have peace of mind when parking your car somewhere nice like the Promenade without fear of someone trying to break in and causing damage to your brand new car (and now your paint is not the same unless you get the whole side redone :mad0 260::
http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=262506 http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=262581 As such I hate Edgewater. Sorry to all those who live there, and sorry to everyone for all the silly angry faces.

Oh yeah, and to stay on topic the manholes do come up out of the ground like those Mesas in Southwestern US.

They already started paving from about gorge rd forward. hopefully they will pave the rest this week and maybe they will pave that hairpin turn on Rt5. I take it all in stride its rather fun like a slalom to weave in between the giant manholes.

I have not gone back to Edgewater since June for that reason alone. It's nerve racking driving while trying to avoid those manholes/destroyer of rims and suspension. Unless you like driving slow and weaving left and right. Then by al means.

I would avoid this road especially at night now, because God forbid you had one drink and you decide to swerve out of the way of one of these Tire/Rim killers the Edgewater Police will pull you over (especially if your driving a nice car).

ha ha. Whenever any woman has ever gotten into the silly "you love this car more than me" mode, I cut them no slack with that nonsense. I say "yeah" and give her the "this conversation is over" look. Gentlemen, please don't feed into the "princess on a pedestal" syndrome.

The Edgewater cop I talked to at Hiram's said it keeps drivers from speeding so it's a good thing for them. But a total FAIL for me!

Just feels like there are more and more super agressive drivers in NJ these days...

ive had a similar thing happen where my friends and I were in an STI and some jerkoff was tailgating in a POS honda they must have found it hilarious until we applied some of that brembo braking and we go out... they reversed back down river road. Trust that i only got out to make sure my friend didnt murder them in public...btw he is licensed to carry a firearm at all times... so moral of the story... dont fuck with gold STIs and stop messing with people on the road you never know what kind of maniac is in the other car.
