Here is a couple crappy vids.. I got caught by a slow *** car

I've got a couple more but I need to convert them.. I almost spun out in a turn after hitting some ice. Snow tires suck on dry pavement

All vids are divx5.11

so I'm not the only one that notices... The roads here are awful! They rarely actually fix problems.. they would much rather patch a hole every other day than fix what is causing it. Hell they will repave a whole road without fixing any drainage issues.. It's like need to gurantee they will have something to do the following day.

WV State Road =

As you'll notice in the vids that road has been paved since the pics.. The usual problem spots are already starting to develope again

Great vids... I can picture myself driving that with a huge grin

In video 2, you should have gone up that hill at the very beginning
