You ain't kidding about them potholes. They'll suck a deep sump off your car like a plasma cutter....that's why my car has a bit of a high ride height to it.
That video was shot down the block from the Bellachico's bread factory in Queens Village. That's the Jamacia line of the Long Island railroad in the background. That back street runs ajacement to the tracks and has been a test & tune strip for decades. It's about 4 blocks from my house and I can remember as a kid hearing open header type stuff being run over there late at night.
You just have to navigate around a few things at times.... :-D
