MrMeanGreen Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 So I'm in the Bay City area today and tomorrow. The ONLY thing Michigan has over Ohio (well, two things): 1) 70mph speed limit on the highway 2) No front plates But our college football team stills kicks fucking ass. That is all.

Kevin R. Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 It is a 70mph limit, but you cannot actually drive 70, for fear of hitting a fucking earthquake-induced crack in their highway system and ripping your axle off. But the no front plate thing does kick ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 gotta love seeing all the detroit muscle up there too. here in cbus all you see is imports but up north you can see all kinds of new stuff too. I remember seeing the XLR's, the Solstices, the new C6, etc...up there way before anywhere else I travel(ed) So I'm in the Bay City area today and tomorrow.

Buck531 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Michigan roads definatley DO suck donkey balls. The speed limit is cool. You can go 80 and get passed by grandma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 When I was looking for a Legacy, I found one in Detroit. I went to Windsor for the weekend and stopped to look at the car on the way back. The thing was cosmetically beat to hell. Looked like a kid went up and down the car with a set of drum sticks. His pictures didn't show any markings on the car at all. I asked him what the hell happen. He said " the roads are bad here". I couldn't believe he said that. It was way more than shit hitting the car from the road. Those road are the only thing I don't like about going to Windsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Speed limit nice, roads only allow 35, but if your in your turbo diesel and you can actually go that fast good luck seeing the unmarked cop cars hiding inside the concrete medians. That and i hope you have air conditioning, because detroit stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 detroit muscle XLR's, the Solstices, the new C6 *sigh* oh, for the days of yore... anthony, this thread lost you lots of cool points, theres nothing (NOTHING) about michigan that is better than ohio.

MrMeanGreen Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yes, no front plates. If you DON'T agree, then you're on crack and can gimme my cool points back On another note, I dunno why everyone is bitching about the highways. I had ZERO problems and smooth driving the entire time. US23 -> I-68 -> I-75 -> US10 and didn't see anything to complain about. I'd tend to say that trip provided better roads than Columbus, but the yuppie fucks in Delaware need destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Columbus roads are the shit. It's like a slalom of construction cones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Car speed limit 70mph, truck limit 55mph, Truck changing lanes in front of you with 15-20mph difference not cool. Also cops that can hide in the bushes with no lights on at night not cool either. No front plate is kinda nice, but it's not like we all follow the rules around here anyway.

Mallard Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 The faster you drive, the smoother the bumps feel. Anthony, US 23 just had a major resurfacing project finish, and I-75 North of the Flint area isn't bad (75 and 23 are the same road at that point.) The worst is I-75 between Toledo and Detriot. All the roads in downtown Detroit are shitty. pdqgp - You'll see everything up here before it's out due to all the manufacturers having captured fleets running around at pre-production time.

MrMeanGreen Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 You pretty much described my route, Phil. No wonder it was smooth Overall, a very boring trip because of how easy it was. I'm taking over a site up there, so I'll be that way more often in Midland.

Doug1647545489 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah anywhere downtown sucks. Most of the roads north of the city are OK. Some of the off ramps are really bad. Going to and from work I drive about 80 and I still get passed by everyone. I love having no front plate too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 michigan drivers cruise in the left lane so no 70 for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Actually, most of the time when I pull up behind a car in the left lane they move over. In Ohio they just sit there oblivious. Space Ghost - You're lucky you didn't get nabbed by any of the unmarked Camaro's or Impala SS's they have up here. Some of them even have tint on the windows. Anthony - The only thing in Midland is Dow Chemical and a bunch of hicks. Doug - Try 696 at rush our. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 yes they do, parking lights. Yup. Ohio patrol cars must be marked and have at least parking lights on at night and be partially visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
