Default The OBT Blues

Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando between Kissimmee and the Florida Mall should be avoided whenever possible!!

The construction has caused so many pot holes, detours, sections of dirt, gravel and uneven pavement that is will destroy your scion. Sunday on the way to Cental Florida Toyota I ran through an area where they had just repaved one lane and the other lane was still old, there was at least a 2-3 inch difference in the surface and when I had to change lanes to make the turn , I tore off one on my side skirts and cut the sidewall on the rear tire. I had to park on the side of the road and walk to Home Depot to buy a battery drill, drill bits and make emergency repairs to make it back home. It's just not safe to travel that area any more. BEWARE!!

I saw the damage on Sunday. I hope you can get it fixed with the minimal funds needed. If you didn't point it out, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Also, again, congratulations on your wife's graduation! UCF KNIGHTS! HUZZAH!

Good to see you on Sunday Mike. Hope you can come to our meet on Sat. at Courtesy Scion.

I did get it fixed, sort of, I'm like you though, I know it there and it will bug the crap out of me until it is fixed right.

it's been like this for about a year.
pi$$ed me off cause for months,
you would never see anyone working on it.
even late at night, no one.

but the side coming from Toyo on Central FL
going to towards Kissimmee is getting better.

the way from Kissimmee to Toyo Central FL
is a biznatch.
