We have called our local Councilman and complained about this for approximately 6 years now. Their response is that they will repair the potholes as soon as they can. Do any of you remember how they were "repairing" the potholes about 9 months ago on Mulholland, this happened because of residents complaining.

The problem is that they don't repair the potholes. Please check out the huge mound of asphalt at Deep Canyon and Mulholland. It is 6 inches high. It will destroy your suspension or lowered car, or both for sure, if you hit it.

They say that they don't have the resources to re-pave Mulholland.
But I bet the truth is that they don't have the resources to patrol Mulholland once it is repaved. They know it will be Le Mans again on Mulholland if it is fixed. They are waiting for the cameras, so that they won't need to patrol as much. I got a ticket deep in Franklin Canyon recently for failing to stop fully at a stop sign. The damn automatic camera got me. Well, guess what? That is what will eventually happen all over the place, they won't need cops to issue traffic violations. They will do it with cameras. Remember the book 1984? We all laughed when it was required reading in High School, it is no laugh now.

By the way, in the past John Hall and I would go out and fix a pot hole that was in the apex of a turn sometimes. After really messing up the alignment a few times on a certain hole, we figured it was smarter to fix it now then to wait a year for the city to fix it. By that time, our cars would be wasted.

If you want, I'll buy the asphalt if you come with me to fix the hole. I'm getting tired of memorizing the pothole locations so that I can avoid them. There was one on Coldwater two years ago that was so big, an entire wheel would fit inside it (really hard on Suspension).

That's a bummer, Chris. At least it will be in the right hands and hopefully will return like new.

Thanks Dave, the MFI is the heart of the engine, and rebuilding it will refresh it so it will run like it did in 1976. After all, it has only 4000 original miles on the car and drivetrain.

I am looking forward to going for a putt on Mulholland soon with the Carrera.

I've noticed less police presence up there lately.

However, the Prius presence is way up! Is there some rule about never driving over 20mph if you own one of these BS status symbols?:rolleyes:
