You hit the nail on the head for me in Fargo....I live off 12th Ave and 10th St....and Work on 7th Ave...7th, University, 11th and all the shitty neightborhood roads that come with the territory are the main streets I use....drives me fricken nuts, these streets are going to shake my car apart

Yeah, they're pretty shitty. Even in the new neighborhoods it seems like the roads suck.** Osgood for example has some pretty wavy bumpy roads, not as many pot holes though. **

Like others have said, its hard to maintain a decent surface with a climate like Fargo's. Think about the exapanding and contracting that goes on with tempetures ranging from -40 to 90+.

Just be glad that we don't live in a city like New York. The roads are horrible on another level over there.

Osgood, Eagle Run, Westport Beach, Charleswood all have bumpy roads. Biggest reason is that the neighborhoods are still being developed so there are constantly construction crews going up and down the streets w/ heavy (relatively) equipment...add in the crazy temp shifts from summer to winter combined with the groundswelling that comes with that and it's easy to see how they can get pretty effed up.

I don't think the roads in Fargo are for "spirited driving" in the first place.

Ha whats the point of having a fun street car, if driving it around everyday turns into a chore?

I never really realized how shitty they were until i started driving the s. The suspension really gives alot of feedback. And the moped can be kinda scary with those little wheels in some of those pot holes.

this is true, the s2000 is surprisingly stiff. it lets you know where the bumps are. haha

Come down to the twin cities... I bent two rims last winter... a rim the year before.

Shit sucks.

Aren't your rims like...$500 a peice?

That would suck major balls.

The more I drive with 17s and 225/45 tires, the more I appreciate thicker tires. Most of Moorhead's older neighborhoods in the north have pretty decent streets; Fargo's older streets are misery.

It's easier to avoid them in Moorhead it seems like, where as like every street in Fargo has atleast one really bad area.

Shit sucks.
