goddamn road construction
Well i was on my way to work yesterday and there was some construction goin on. They were cutting out some blacktop for manholes so it can be freshly done...
:godamnit: Well I was driving down the road and some damn bastard was hoggin the yellow line and I couldnt stop or scoot over so I went over this 6 inch deep 90 degree pothole. That shit bent the lip of my rim. :crbaby: It didnt pop the tire and I dont think I broke a belt because it seems to be in place. The car is driveable but its sitting here at home. I really need to win this months GT40 rim contest so I can just get new tires cuz mine are going bald. :verypissed: Ill get pics tomarrow. |
Yikes, get your alignment checked man.. Sounds like a pretty hard hit. :hittingthefan:
|
Yeah I bounced out of my seat and my mirror dropped down. it was a really solid hit. Alignment isnt too far off but Im quite sure that tire isnt balanced anymore. lol
I might just take the tire off the rim and see how well I can repair it. if it cracks I could just scoop another rim up. Ive been thinking about painting my rims mineral grey anyways and repair some of the rash and clearcoat thats peeling. I think that might look pretty sweet. |
Holy sh*t!!!! Is your fender ok? Or did it just brutalize your wheel? Not that "just" hurting your wheel isn't bad enough.
|
Damn dude! That blows.
You should call your local department of transportation, i think they budget repairs to cars damaged by roadwork. I have heared of people busting a rip or killing a tire on a pothole and the city DOT covering the expence. probably differs from area to area. |
Damn thats weak sorry to hear about that. I swear the roads are rediculous sometimes i had a 4 foot peice of rebar fly up from a truck in front of me a few months back and nail my front bumper almost breaking my clear fogs and it took a big spot of paint off. Maybe its god telling you its time ot mod? lol

Road construction goin on everywhere here...except for the places that actually need it..
|
That sucks man...
|
Every single road down here is under construction. You cant have a show quality paint if you drive around S FL.
|
damn it ...i'm 2 days away from my annual roadtrip and this year was my drive to miami but if the roads are screwed up down there theres no point ...maybe i'll drive to vegas instead...cant hit any kind of speed on a screwed up road
|
The problem is that all the expressways have construction plus the real estate boom has a bunch of trucks carrying gravel. I have tons of rock chips on the stang and 1 on my 1month old Lex.
