Compton leaders said that residents fixing potholes is against city code.

"We did it because it was affecting us directly," resident Daisy de la Rosa said. "We wanted to do something for the community and the community started pitching in."

    I'm picturing some poor fool backing their Tesla into a manmade tar pit because Elon didn't account for a Texas heatwave.

      I can imagine a Tesla owner's car falling into the pit and the owner getting roasted on Twitter. He gets really mad and says...

      Look, my car was NOT "like a mammoth swallowed whole falling to the deep abyss of a ginormous manmade tar pit of Biblical proportions".

      1. My car was not "swallowed whole". A portion remained above the pit line.

      2. It is incorrect to say "deep abyss". An abyss is already "a deep or seemingly bottomless chasm". The pit was probably 8 feet deep at most.

      3. Ginormous? It was a small localized area.

      4. The photos of my car in the pit that everyone is refering to were probably photoshopped. And even if they weren't - the situation wasn't as bad as it looks. It is challenging to fix but, dummies, I have insurance anyway.
