Huh, that's funny...... The windows do look ridiculously large in that pic. That really must have been an ugly sight to see. Glad you and your wife are not injured.

My daughter hit a pothole on Virginia Beach expressway and blew her tire out last week. Going about 60 and the tire had a huge chunk knocked out of it.

Daaaaamn glad your ok kid. And luckily no real damage! That sh#t could have been much worse. Same here in Jersey with all the potholes. The townships have been doing these "temporary" fills and they literally break down by the next snowstorm. Stupid. The plows are eating the roads apart this winter.

Friend hit a joint/pothole going around 75 crossing over a bridge and blew out three tires, around 12 cars in total had to be towed away it was so bad, this winter has been brutal. Glad you are ok though.
