Wow that sucks. 99.99% the contractor dropped the ball. I'm sure Caltrans has their butt covered.

Probably but life is too short to wast cycles worrying about it. If I see some $$ back then great....if not then I chalk it up to "I should of been paying better attention" :D

Scary to think what that would have done to one of those rubber band rim and tire deals 😳

The Mini Cooper wasn't too far from that actually......17" 40 series tires......good news is that they were runflats so the sidewall was much stiffer than a regular tire would have been :)

So I hit the 40 South from Needles. There is a stretch that's pretty bad. Even in the Raptor with balloon tires it hits hard. And the unpaved sections of the #2 lane don't look like much fun. Especially if I had my baby in tow. Nice of them to warn us lol Attachment 18920

Those signs tell me to hold on for dear life.
BTW, if anyone goes out this weekend and those damn approaches aren't fixed, let me know and I'll let the Cal Trans guy know it's still there.
