Default i hate new york roads (bad pics)

busted tire and bent rim, filed claim with nyc comptroller today... to top it off, the headlight has an erection and points up

replacement rim and tires - around $2000
yelling at a passing ambulance that the tire is dead and needs resuscitation (in front of the in laws) - priceless

this was at grand canyon parkway, i'm sorry - i meant grand central parkway @ hillside. the first time i wasn't speeding, only 50 mph, with 4 people in the car.

i couldn't even pull over to the shoulder immediately... you know why? 3 other people were there. i had to pass the exit to pull over. after putting on the spare, another 3 people caught flats and were in front of me. guess what one of them were, an m3. guess what does not come in m3's... spare tire

Damn thats rediculous. That musta been a crazy pothole cause the BBS stocks are strong. I know because I've caught a couple good ones, but not bent a wheel. *knocks on wood* Sorry to see that happen.

i've actually hit several potholes hard, but i think this time i had too much weight in the car. 4 grown people plus luggage (i was coming back from the airport) I'm not mechanical engineer and too not sure on this but I doubt it would have been this bad if I was alone...

i haven't seen rims i would like to replace my stock ones with so i ordered a new rim through carson toyota because it was around $1700 shipped overnight compared to around $2300 at my local ralle lexus

i really didn't believe the dealer at that time rims could cost that much. i figured i would have bought a whole new set of rims, then i fell in love with isf rims. love makes you do stupid things.
