Default Pothole Season

After hitting a pothole and shaking my teeth, the car didn't run well at 65 MPH or higher.
A bent rim that had to be repaired.

Ugh, tell me about it... NYC streets are a ****ing mess!

I lost a tire, Wednesday night, thank god no damage to the wheel itself, but i had to spend ~$1200 for two new front tires!

I will be sticking with driving my RAM 1500 and a few extra weeks until the fix all the damn canyons!

Wow, what kind/size tires for $1,200 for 2?

I just had to replace 2 OE Eagle LS's 19", cost me $720 + 129 for alignment....waiting [hopefully] for $300 max. reimbursement from the state DOT.

+1 on NYC.

Whenever I bring the car there for a day trip, I can feel the car is older by another 4 years. The infamous Worth Street is much worst than a 3rd world country road. I guess the dealership was right when they convinced me not to get the sport package with 19" and 20".
