Why not call the CDD and let them know of your concerns???

I think they were smoother when the original asphalt was taken up and they had the cones out!

I had club car, front end suspension parts looked like tooth picks compared to my Yamaha's.

If the OP doesn't seem upset about it, why are your knickers in an uproar?

BobnBev: Why? Because 99.9999999999% of the members on TOTV go out of their way not to hurt other posters feelings especially when it comes to obvious keyboard errors or misspellings, etc They knew what the poster meant to say, such as when someone keyboard ankle when they meant angle. These are personal attacks. Its one thing to say I don't like that restaurant or to disagree directly on a point with some but quite another to use a person as sport (those gotch a moments).

I noticed your mistake in spelling on your edit signature sometime ago. I knew what you meant and knew that you would get around to correcting it. In fact I do the same things my fingers work faster than my brains these days. You caught me on a bad day with your post. I regret my reply its not like me to let emotion take over but I very much dislike "gotcha moments".

Let's go forward with bygone being bygones and enjoy, debate.

Personal Best Regards:

PS When I worked in Human Resources we literally had 12 people personally review our newsletter before it went to employees. This despite the computer's word check and it was never a futile exercise. Its the way the brain works and this brain issue is the same reason we all find golf difficult and why it pays to have a training pro with you at all times even the PGA pro's. Hint when proof checking read the sentence backward it helps identify misspellings.

Probably, 99.9% of posters/readers on TOTV have a sense of humor and aren't afraid to admit it. I feel sorry for those who can't find theirs.
My last post on this subject.....MOD, feel free to lock this post.

Default New speed bumps....

Correcting grammar or spelling for humor is most of the time like using vulgarity for humor...cheap, easy and rarely funny.

And here again we've digressed from the original subject intent, which was the poor installation/workmanship of the freshly laid asphalt to the point of it being akin to speed bumps, to a spelling lesson and the correct use of grammar. Wow, I feel like I've been transported back in time to 1970/71 and 12th grade English with Mrs. Thompson.
