We had a huge amount of rain the other day. I haven't driven to town since. I think I'd better keep my eyes open, all two lane roads for a bit over 15 miles each way. Most of them are even paved.

(7,808 posts)Any state that get snow and ice gets potholes. In North Carolina, there was a pothole right in front of my subdivision had to be repaired every couple of weeks. Michigan also salts the roads, which eats away at the bottom of your car something awful.
