if your on 17th ave you might want to stay out of the right lane, you'll bounce everywhere. Some streets in kensington are pretty bad too

Especially the right lane in front of the Ship, there are some pretty big ruts there.

Was just going to add this, i was swerving avoiding the land mines that are protruding manholes every half a second yesterday. I must have looked ridiculous, westbound is much worse than east.

Also, the one ive hit that is by far the hardest...left turning lane from 32nd ave N onto barlow heading north, it was the first time i pulled over to check my sh*t out right away. It was horrible.

Holy crap Pat! Where did that happen??

Re: PSA - Save your oil pan (Pot Hole Warnings)

EB memorial after the lights at deerfoot. That was a few weeks ago. Now it's all torn up for construction.

That was the least of the damage. It cracked in 3 places

I always turn from barlow north onto 32nd going west and I got a glimpse of what you're talking about. Never, will I go from 32nd onto Barlow north. That sh*t would destroy my undercarriage.

i take this route all the time and bottomed out once. learned my lesson. there is enough to ride the ruts so that's what i do now when i go this way

Watch out for the super man hole covers at sherwood entrance......

Re: PSA - Save your oil pan (Pot Hole Warnings)

Not to take this too far off topic but I have seen some residential and busier street paving here now a couple times and they strip the pavement and pave it all in the same day, they essentially get an assembly line going down the street with stripping, cleaning, prepping and paving all happening in tandem, hence no weeks of protruding man-hole covers.
