So i was watching this commercial while on wikipedia and it got me curious as the ad doesn't really give any details behind the whole stupid thing. Anyhow what I found was even more impressive. Apparently Kalifornia is going to have massive budget shortfalls this year, we've all heard that, but when you read this you can't help but NOT feel sorry for them.
So these people that live in a bankrupt state, they bitch about the road so its removed, possibly even at Honda's expense. Then apparenly they bitch about it being removed so they RE-install it, my guess would be at the city's expense.
The Civic Musical Road was built on Avenue K in Lancaster, California, United States, on 5 September 2008.[6] Covering a quarter mile stretch of road between 60th Street West and 70th Street West, the Musical Road used grooves cut into the asphalt to replicate the William Tell Overture. It was paved over on 23 September due to nearby residents complaining to the city council about noise levels;[7] but after further complaints from city residents about its removal, work began to recreate it on 15 October 2008 on Avenue G between 30th Street West and 40th Street West, two miles away from the nearest residence.[8] This road is named after the Honda Civic. It opened two days later.[9] The new section on Avenue G is only in the far left lane of the westbound side of the road.

If they start taking requests for more musical pavement, my vote is for Ship of Fools.
