Driving through most of the parking lots feels like off-roading.

Especially the surface lot between the Allen Field house garage and the Engineering Building! Every 6 months some guys come out for about 4 hours to patch a fraction of the holes and then leave. Some of the larges pits are actually against the curbs when you pull into the spaces, but they would probably need to come in on the weekend to fill those, which has never happened.
