i woukd just like to say...

The other night I was turning onto Peel in old Montreal heading North and hit a giant pothole while turning on my drivers front wheel.

I kept driving and got to dropping the GF off and as I turned the corner to her street I heard a loud banging at said wheel. Jumped out to look and my caliper had fucking fallen off... You know those bolts where the slide pins are that don't have to be THAT tight? One gone, other one almost all out. I had just done the brakes a few weeks ago and 100% sure they were tightened properly.

Fuck you Montreal.

20W just before the exit towards 13N. The last merge onto 20W before exit to 13N

All those roads are fucking terrible there. Since the fucking 15 and 20 aren't even connected (because of fucking construction), I'm stuck going that way all the time and literally cringe the whole ride.
 
On papineau when you go on the 19 after Henri-Bourrassa, in the middle lane, there is a giant fking pothole in the middle of the highway too. I hit it with my stock suspension (which is really soft) and My CD player just stopped working after that.

^ this goes nowhere near montrealistans 'roads'
 
It's getting worse year after year.. But the question is, how much worse can it get?

I remember driving last year and it wasn't as bad as it is now..
 
Every time i hit a bump or pothole on a highway i always think to myself how the hell can they not fix this stuff on highways? So freaking dangerous. To add, a lot of these bumps, crevices etc etc have been there for a longggg time and have zero do to with the weather. Just after sources on the 20E approaching Dunder the Sources overpass on the 20E there are two "speedbumps" directly on the highway. They have been there for as long as i can remember. It is the same thing under that same overpass going west as well. Around the 20E and the 13 in Lachine the roads are uneven and have been like that for a longgggg time as well. It's not even about potholes anymore. There are bumps, crevices, uneven roads..just so dangerous. They try to protect citizens (baby us) by having us wear seatbelts, helmets, driving slower but yet they leave our roads completely a mess.
 
On Sherbrooke near University, right lane, the hole I hit this morning was so deep the Subaru stopped, turned around, looked at me and said: "WTF?" It's on the right side of the road, VERY deep.
