Let's hear it for cost effective road repair techniques! On the way home from work today I again encountered one of my favorites. Its the "Hey, Virgil - You and Bubba go out and toss some cold patch in the potholes" method. This tax increase mitigating procedure allows us regular folks to actually operate steamrollers disguised as passenger vehicles. As a frustrated heavy equipment operator wannabe, I am truly ecstatic as I attempt to clean the tar off my car so the touchup paint will stick. My next favorite method involves peagravel spread over a base of fresh oil/tar/whatever it is. A road just renewed thusly can cause the kind of white knuckle understeer excitement many of us live for. A rented Camaro and I nearly came to grief when they did this to one of Oklahom's few curved roads.
