It was.... MAN, those side streets are the place to go when you want to see what a vehicle can handle. If I lived in that area, I think I’d own a Raptor.

The correct answer is HWY 190 from BR to I-49

If you ever need a tooth pulled, save yourself some $$$ and just drive that road as it will shake all your teeth out of your dome.



There are worse roads driving through the quad.

What’s the absolute worst stretch of road in Louisiana that would test any vehicle’s suspension?

Oh for the love of God. Please explain how the soil on the Louisiana side shifts and subsides, but the soil immediately over the border with Texas doesn't.

There are some terrible ones down in Cameron Parish that are basically sinking into the Gulf, but the worst one I've seen just due to lack of maintenance is LA highway 77 in Pointe Coupee. It's appalling.

190 is like the autobahn compared to some of the state highways through there.

When’s the last time you made that drive? 10 in orange just across the Texas line is atrocious.

Went to Flatwoods LA once and the highway my GPS took me to was like that. The pavement had become a literal pot hole infested gravel road.

Like I said, we also use a thinner road base (because we're cheap when it comes to actually performing any work), which magnifies the soil shifting problem. Hence why there would be a difference when you cross the border.
