OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[Name Redacted]

Pikes Peak lot- got my spare tire stolen off my Tacoma. I pay to park at USAirport parking now or stay at a hotel w/ parking.

@Summit you're welcome to park at my place near Tennyson. Uber/Lyft from here may be a wash compared to your other options but my wife or I are always here and there are 2 cameras covering the spot. Have yet to have either of our cars messed with in 3 years. We'll be gone most of June however, so security will be reduced during that stretch.

Same offer, nearly same location (technically West Highlands). We don't have cameras but all our neighbors do. Plenty of parking available. Including right in front of my house where my dog will loudly bark at anyone who stands too fucking long.

huh?

I mentioned in a previous post that I had my catalytic converters stolen there. Not sure what confused you.

Yep, I've heard of thefts at Pikes Peak (not as bad as RTD lots but still some), never heard of any issues at USAirport.

70s going to be closed anyways so you can't leave

[grskier]

You CDOT apologists that claim no money must have forgot the $45million got appropriated from reserved. It Colorado. We build are roads like shit, we maintain them like shit, they go to shit and we are so resigned to it that we make excuses that it is OK.

From Berthoud to Granby there are car eating holes in the road. It is a safety issue. There have been multiple roll overs and head ons. Everytime you drive between the Jane and town there are disables vehicles.

LOL.

$45M.. no way...
You could spend that on one stretch of a SH that you've never heard of in a summer to repave/rebuild and take on a little rockfall mitigation.
Colorado needs a funding overhaul.
Using private contractors is a tool, not THE tool. Many of them can't get employees either.

US Airport parking... $14/day vs $9/day for Pikes... why would you ever do that?

BTW, no idea where the $14/day rate comes from, on their website it is listed as $12/day, and right there on the website is a $2/day off coupon.

The extra $1/day is absolutely worth it for door to door service alone, but also the additional security.

If you're already paying $42 total for the train (sounds like there are 2 of you), plus a possible uber from street parking or a smaller fee for a public lot, the extra security and convenience doesn't cost that much more.

70 was full of plenty of suck today

I'll give it a C-

[Name Redacted]

I know a guy who paid good money at DIA to park in the close in garage. Came back and the catalytic converter was missing. He asked Airport security if they had video or any evidence of who did it, they just shrugged and said no.

I 70 is dog shit right now over Vail pass. I saw the aftermath of the car firs from yesterday. Looks gnarly. Potholes are major too. I was driving a small cargo van today and thought I was gonna get a flat for sure.

[MakersTeleMark]

A buddy of mine from up here called me from Golden and couldn't believe he didn't blow something driving down with a trailer for errands. He said he wouldn't even contemplate I70 E of Copper on a moto.

[summit]

I literally ran over a pair of skis that had come off a car while doing 75. How did my tires not blow.

Tunnel Trash

Tunnel Trash

Fart bagger

[Danno]

I love the term tunnel trash. As someone who grew up using it derisively against others (NYC), it's hilarious that I am now tunnel trash.

And this was the moment when Danno has realized how full circle his life has come.

I prefer Franger Danger. Tunnel trash doesnt really capture the full essence of the problem.

You'll definitely want to avoid 285 through Fairplay with the new bridge and intersection improvements.....1.5 year project. If you saw the chunks of concrete that fall off the underside of the bridge on a daily basis, you wouldn't choose to drive over it anyways. You've been warned.

[hawkgt]

^^^ good to hear, actually a good project to get done. that intersection is a clusterfuck

What's the detour?

Is it going to be worse than the detour last year that put us on Hwy9 to Hartsel?

[The SnowShow]

Can I just say fuck the US for its infrastructure? I’ve been watching the Tour of Switzerland and every year their roads in the mountains are immaculate.
