^^^^^ Agreed dude I live in pittston and the roads are trash hell 81 up here you can't even drive the speed limit becasue its so pothole filled because all the do is patch this and that. and its gets worse every year.

+1 on PA hwy sucking, VA is not that far behind, specially Virginia Beach!!! Most desolate, I agree with Texas. The whole wipers stuck on your windshield cuz it was hot is true but for me, my E46 BMW lost the fucking decal sticker on the hood because it was 128 degrees out when I drove thru East Texas.

As much as i would like to disagree with you I just cant haha.

Nebraska is by far the worst other than 88 cent Mcgriddles. That was the only thing that wasn't God awful about the drive through Nebraska

The majority of our roads suck the largest camel dick any man has ever seen. A select few counties stay on top of the up-keep on their roads, to the point that you can tell when you've crossed a county line by the drastic change in the road surface. We do however have some hellaciously fun mountain roads.

Being from WV the roads aren't to bad if you stay on the few main roads the state seems to care about. Those being 77, 64 and maybe 79. Other than that they will patch a hole and the patch seems to make it worse half the time. As for the run down houses we do have a lot of that it seems beside our interstates for whatever reason. But I would rather drive in WV with the scenery of mountains and forests that line 95% of our roads than most other places.

My vote for worst states to drive through are for Ohio and Virginia. Their police being the main reason.

ShadowDrifter 04-22-2013 11:38 PM

When I say the roads here are getting worse im not lying. Lets just say everyone who drives I81 near me will be GREAT autocross drivers but then end of the year. For like 15 miles its nothing but shit and potholes and all they keep doing is patching shit which makes it worse.

LovetoSlide 05-03-2013 01:48 AM

What about Los Angeles and traffic lol....

racer98 05-05-2013 10:04 AM

Any part of Oklahoma - Blinding fog in the winter - tire ripping heat in the summer 119F OKC. noooooooooo and never drive the panhandel of OK land cuz you get dropped off in a town call Dumas, smells like crap for 40miles.

Texas - yes that is a long drive through there but on certain spots its 85mph legal so you can get from Elpaso to SAn Antonio in a very good time but night time strictly follow the speed limit and watch out for deer.

Ohio - speed limit and 5 under it.

Meat Beaterson 05-10-2013 10:00 AM

Oklahoma should be on this list

SidewayzAsFck 05-12-2013 01:12 AM

East coast... Jersey & Ny roads are pure ass

RiskyRick 05-12-2013 09:27 AM

You know that you're in Kansas when you drive through it. No exits in sight, nothing on the radio but gospel stations, and the scenery starts looking like something out of an average quality model railroad kit.

its not that baa actually it fucking sucks.

THe main freeways you should stay away from are 5..405..605..101....110 pretty much every single one.
Not only is there traffic you have dumbass drivers. going 50 in in the fast lane, merging last second without using a blinker, slamming on brakes in a open lane. here in LA we have to deal with kim kardashian type girls and FOB's who took the driving test 100 times before they finally passed.


yea it sucks

Lovetoslide... hye es?

Drift_FX 05-14-2013 12:01 AM

i will drive around the state of mississippi if need be, just to avoid that armpit of the country...

WESamiss 05-18-2013 10:57 AM

Arkansas, it has to be on this list. I've personally known 4 people hit pot holes in the little rock area that have dented oil pans. One of which caused engine failure. Most coilover unfriendly state I've ever driven in.... But I am from Florida so I'm accustom to buttery smooth roads.

Sugoi_Style 05-19-2013 11:55 PM

31W in KY aka the Dixie Dieway. Many deaths, country ass rednecks and too many 5-0 litter this road and shit is boring to drive! Pothole friendly and pretty much every business entrance has massive grades to straddle lol when going up and down them. I feel like idiot when people see me doing that. People dont ride low around here for a reason unless its on hydraulics or bags. :wtc:

No I am not Armenian lol

nyc and central nj have the WORST roads to drive a lowered car on. feel like I'm playing frogger with potholes an oncoming traffic the entire time

amerjap 06-12-2014 01:32 AM

The Texas boring would be okay if you could enjoy the long stretches and fifth gear but law enforcement is heavy in all the small towns those roads wind through.

BossHogg 06-12-2014 10:14 PM

Texas is not that bad. 80 mph speed limit, everyone goes 90. Not to mention, home made authentic mexican food at some of the gas stations. Just travel with some TP or napkins.

Michigan, by far the worst roads ever going into Detroit. It sucks for full size trucks, don't even think about normal cars. Only time I've ever popped a tire. I'd rather drive in Afghanistan.

Kansas is boring as fuck.

Nebraska just smells like straight cow shit, depending on the time of year.

Iowa sucks. Nothing there. Saw a high speed chase once, was cool for 30 seconds. Watch out for speed cameras in the guard rails on the highway.

North Dakota sucks. Only time I've came close to running out of gas, not to mention windy as fucking hell. You are constantly readjusting. Although its funny watching the tumble weeds. Or dodging them. Oh yea and pheasants like to hang out literally on the shoulder of the road. They look cool.

Montana is cool but has its boring parts. Rim rock view at billings is cool. Great falls has some nice scenery spots along the way.

Wyoming is ok. Mountains etc.

South dakota is pretty boring has good scenery in some spots. Endless miles of Wall Drug signs lol.

Illinois is a joke.

I don't remember indiana and ohio to much.

Louisiana is ok I guess. New Orleans is a joke. Streets are way to narrow and LOTS of blind corners, not to mention parking is a bitch.

Mississippi i don't remember much but passing a nissan plant. It's like a small town lol water tower and all. Also, the gas stations sell BBQ. Ever tried eating a full rack of ribs driving down the highway? Yea don't try it. Bring napkins and a moist towelette.

Arkansas is meh. Cotton fields can look cool if its that time of year.

Tennessee...only been on western side. Bearable I guess.

Missouri is ok. Very green forest's and hills. Home state, so it just feels like your getting close to home. Not to mention, seems like we have cheap ass gas.

Texas cops don't hassle you if you don't drive like an asshat. How fast are you trying to go on public roads? Speed limit is 70 in most cities here and higher inbetween... At least you don't get ref tickets here for shit like modded exhausts or anything else, really...

amerjap 06-13-2014 08:54 PM

To be fair, I earned every ticket I got in Texas. It's just all the little towns that can destroy the fun of an otherwise boring stretch by forcing you not just to slow down, but to do 25 on a four-lane street in the near middle of nowhere. But, it offers a good excuse to stop at Dairy Queen.

Ding but enter the northern zone and there are craters that will swallow whole wheels! This year is by far the worst eva

TwoForDeh 06-17-2014 08:12 AM

Massachusetts has absolutely HORRENDOUS roads. I cringe every time I cross the border. Right at the "Welcome to Massachusetts" sign, you can see the quality of the road completely change. I love our New Hampshire roads. Nice, tight, curvy, windy roads. Ahhhhh I need to get out of work and drive...

BiggDatty 07-08-2014 11:21 PM

Texas is fine, rarely any potholes. The only downside is they're ALWAYS RE-DOING ROADS & POPO

smokescreen240 07-10-2014 09:22 AM

I'll vote for CT. Was literally there for 48 hours, and i can attest to everything written about it. Roads were garbage. I even bottomed out my wife's car (2007 Camry With Trd Springs) on the highway. Shit roads and shit drivers.

Minnesota_nice 07-10-2014 02:33 PM

make your way up to Minnesota my god the pot holes suck. if you are driving straight and not avoiding pot holes id probably think you were drunk driving lol
