Virginia/DC drivers

Has anyone driven the Z on 66 in VA? I figure that road (the worst in america) has to be an awful match for this car. Seriously, who came up

And the concrete/cement with different pieces every 5 yards, bump bump bump bump. Ridges in the road. Its ridiculous. Worst state ever. Now im getting off topic

I don't often drive down there, but I was there yesterday, in my Z, driving 66 from Fairfax to the west side of the beltway... It was ok for me.

If you think 66 is the worst road in the country you must have very limited driving experience.

The Z is very softly sprung (that's what she said) and handles the concrete seams without issue.

If you want to see the crappiest highways in the country, go to Louisiana. What a shithole.

Don't forget about PA, easily some of the worst roads on the east coast. You could be blind folded drive from MD into PA and know exactly where PA started.

I tell you what, come out to AZ. Not only do the roads suck (cause most havent been re-paved since the 70's) But the people here can't drive, and most of them don't even have insurance to boot.

You have not driven in NJ. They have the worst roads I have ever traveled. Even the interstate is like that.

66 is pretty much suck though, just like the state!

I drive it frequently and it is not bad. But then I always drive in the fast lane as it is much smoother than the slow lanes...
