Whoever put this together did a great job. It's the best kind of local news you can hope to find.

Shop owner/mechanics: "oh shoot, more pot holes. Someone should do something.....😐🤫😐"

[@themikeymikechannel2947]

Flat tire and or bent rim caused by sink holes - I mean pot holes by ass holes who are uneducated on how to fix ass holes - I mean pot holes on our roadways! make the county or city pay for it - 100%

I hit a pothole the other day and my car is not driving right

[@flowersmile123]

Very informative.

Truth is this mechanic is loving the potholes for his business 😂

If the roads were built properly in the first place, there wouldn't be all those potholes. Other countries, like Finland, which has similar climates and landscapes, don't have the same issues with their roads. Why is that? Make work projects! That's what I think when I see road construction in this city. If the roads were constructed properly in the first place we wouldn't have such terrible roads and so many new potholes! Maybe the city engineers need to investigate how other countries do it and then hire a company that doesn't use subpar materials and heavily fine those who do! Stop allowing the same companies to build more 'make work projects '. It may cost more to build good roads but if you don't have to repair and then rebuild them only a few years later, the city would save money in the long run. (Or is someone getting their pockets lined in order to keep these 'make work projects' going?)

I live in Norway, and we have horrible roads, even tho we are one of the richest countries on earth. Sweeden (our neighboring country) have alot better roads.

[@iannmiller]

@@keemoify wow! I lived in Norway for 3 years in the past decade, and I thought your roads where very good compared to here on the East Coast USA

[@keemoify]

@@iannmiller Cool! But i actually read somewhere that in Europe, only Albania has worse roads than Norway. And they dont pay you if you ruin your car from driving in these holes and ruin your car either.
Where in Norway did you live?
In the bigger cities the roads are usually alot better than on the outskirts.

[@iannmiller]

@@keemoify Oslo… I drove up to Dovre one time, and the roads were good.. the tunnels are wonders of engineering. I’ll bet Albania’s roads are comparable to my dear east coast’s. Lulz

Okay but that car didn't need a new lower control arm, you can press out ball joints.

[@elliottbrown3221]

In case u didn’t notice the ball joint isn’t separate from the bottom arm
