Default Goddamnit! I just hit a frickin' frackin' huge pothole! Some ******** in a Lincoln land-yacht

decides to pull into my lane, just as I'm passing him. He was on the left, waiting to turn, I on the right going straight. There is a high curb to my right, so I had nowhere to go. BAM! I saw the pot hole a mere split second before impact. As soon as I hit it I knew something had to give.

I pulled over, and checked the rim, but no dents, but as I started towards my office about 3 blocks away, I could feel the steering wheel tugging left and right. I pulled in to my space just in time to watch my tire deflate completely. Obviously, the dent on the rim is on the <inside> part of the rim.

Max from Edgeracing, if you read this, I could really use that new set of Kahn RSS's... right now! :-)
