Pot hole at 75 mph

Ouch... Just noticed a nice 2 inch bend in my rear drivers rim. Ordering a replacement today. This, after just coming out of the shop.

That sucks man, sorry to hear that... When I just moved to Dallas, I bent 2 of my Breyton wheels on the E39 on those huge lane divider bumps, man, that scared the hell out of me. Now I am very carefull with the P-car. Cheers,

Yeah, I am Chi-town too. I drive like I am drunk, weaving back and forth. Surprised I haven't been pulled over yet.

Sorry to hear about the bend but happy that you're out there enjoying the good weather we're getting. 65F tomorrow!

It's pretty bad this year. Chicago and the east coast is keeping us pretty busy with single wheels and tires right now, and March will be worse. I'm glad I have a full size truck and an SUV because the roads around here are too bad to drive a sports car on right now.

And the good news is the municipalities don't have the money to fix them!

Stay sharp out there.
