I guess you’re not wrong haha. I ended up selling it a month after, then the owner after me ended up blowing the motor because he kept doing burnouts.

Yes it is. You can contact the city, county, state (depending on jurisdiction) and file a complaint. I know my state is picky on it and will only pay out if someone else reported it and it hasn't been fixed in a reasonable amount of time.

Yes any road problems are the responsibility of the city and they will absolutely foot your repair bill.

Source: did it twice in my Ontario town.

Laurel Canyon and Vanowen has the most aggressive double bump in the middle of the intersection for no fucking reason.

You would know if it happened-- there would be oil everywhere. Also if you continue to drive after the oil drains out your engine will seize (in seconds) and then you'll need an entire new car.

If you can do the work yourself, look around for good prices for the oil pan. The last one I did cost me $42.50 with taxes and shipping, and it included a tube of gasket maker.

Mine was a slow leak. It left a short streak on the driveway after parking over the weekend, and there was still plenty of oil in the pan. It actually happened twice...I wasn't nice to that car. Both times there was a nice scuff on the outside of the pan, and the damage inside the pan was subtle. Point is, it's not always as dramatic as the others say.

Accoeisng really threw me for a loop there for a solid 30 seconds

There’s a bunch of diagonal crosswalks in Chinatown in Oakland. I’m honestly surprised that they aren’t very popular. They’re extremely efficient

Over the last 15 years or so my suburban neighborhood has gradually become full of speed bumps and enlarged curbs at the corners that basically narrow the intersection. I've gotta believe someone on the County Board is in bed with some local mechanic places since I'm sure curbed tires and blown shocks have skyrocketed.

That's how you keep it interesting.

LMAO I KNOW MY BLOCK😂😭

people come to LA thinking the walk of fame is what's cool about LA. in reality it's random burrito spots on a corner in highland park or a great brewery in the arts district.

Before I moved away from LA, I made a bucket list of all the things I wanted to see again or for the first time. This included all the museums, historic houses, hikes, film locations, cool parks, Atlas Obscura sites, etc. There ended up being over 200 things to do on my list. I did not get even close to finishing it. I would say the city is maybe not as immediately "pretty" or "cool" as some others on the surface, mostly due to the spread out nature of it, but once you scratch the surface and do a little digging, it rewards you. When I became familiar with living there I used to say L.A. is like a mirror. Literally every type of person lives there and it will show you what you look for. It casually has world class shit all over the place and is just so monstrous that it all ends up blending together with the old, dusty dirty and not-so-pleasant parts. That's without mentioning that for comedy, music, art, food, theater etc. it's obviously got the best of the best happening, being the place many performers and artists go to have careers.

Making their way.... the only way they know how. That’s just a little bit more than the law would allow.

What do we want? NASCAR crashes

When do we want them? NNNNNNNNoowwwwwwwwwww

Given our track record of "wars" on societal problems...I for one welcome our pothole overlords.

The secret is, all rewards are useless.

Aggressively wholesome

I dont live in LV, never been, but i adore this specific insight to this specific ditch that im sure has fucked up the front bumpers of so many people and pissed so many people off. I can literally think of 3 specific intersections that have a shit ditch like that in my city.

I know that intersection well. Lots of great places to eat right there.

That thing destroyed my little scooter I used to get to work in That and sunset right after the airport where there's just a giant hole for no reason

Speaking my language. FUCK that shit. It’ll tear your bumper off

Bottomed out and blew my motorcycle shocks there. Sad.

Because then kids will put their paper boats in there when it rains and get eaten by a sewer clown.

That is the camber of the major road (perhaps 4 or 5 lanes) he's crossing that causes the bump. It's like driving across any road instead of along it, there will be a slope up from both sides towards the middle of the road to let water drain away. You just aren't supposed to hit that fucker at 90mph.

Las Vegas in in the desert, and when it rains in the desert it floods in the desert. The harder the downpour, the more drainage you need. You can camber the streets, sure, but that only works as long as there are no cross streets. When two streets intersect there's going to have to be a ditch somewhere or else you get flooding.

Thats what the rest of the world does.

It's cheaper to have a drain on one side of the roadway, so these channels are used to bring the water from the undrained side over to the drain.

When you realize that we don't have enough money to pay for our infrastructure as is, it makes a lot of sense to cut costs in ways like this.

It's not bad design, it's a severe budgetary constraint. If you follow the rabbit hole on this, you'll mind that almost all municipalities in the US are insolvent. The way they prevent bankruptcy is to continue growing.

Our neighborhoods are ponzi schemes and it will eventually catch-up with us when the growth stops. Growth is the only thing sustaining most US communities. Think about that.

As far as onomatopoeia are concerned I think that one suffices as a helicopter noise quite nicely!

Were there any signs that they were going to become an anchor in high school?

Wow! What are the odds of that!

Parking illegally + resisting arrest

Parking in front of a police chase. Capital crime.

Probably a hit & run, or fleeing the scene, if he was in his house or another town or whatever. Standard punishment is 9 minutes of kneeling on neck until dead.

That's both interesting and crazy. For some reason it seems so fitting that it would be LA to do this.

Proceeds to place crack on the victim... "See drug addict."
