Roads in Brooklyn, NY?

Leozap · 07-16-2010, 01:13 PM

Anyone live around Broadway, Brooklyn NY? I have to go there tonight but my car is 1.4" lowered so I don't want to bring it down there. I will drive the Nissan Ultima instead

. Any input is appreciated.

Drive your ultima instead, the road in NYC is alway pretty bad. There are so many pothole that even I don't want to go through with a suv.

Roads aren't that bad. As long as you're careful and you can judge distances, you'll be fine. Personally, I never understood how people scrape bumpers/lips/curb tires/etc. I've been driving for over 15 years and never once did any of those.

Just take it slow. I would be more worried about parking. If you're going to be doing street parking, take a beater car/another car. If it's just driving from point A to point B, take your good car.

Driving around NYC is like playing a game of Frogger. Just dodge those potholes and crazy cab drivers. I agree with the street parking though, you'll end up with an aneurysm worrying if you'll ever see your car in one piece or scratched the fuck up.

if you do, put EDC in comfort mode.

Yeah I had a Stroke and went into cardiac arrest when I had my e46 M3 and the front bumper was crushed in NYC.
