My Ride: A Car

I was driving off the Manhattan bridge towards the freakin BQE west. Driving on the ramp to BQE West. There was a HUUUUGE pothole which I missed. I was busy looking at the 4 cars on the side of the road since I want to pay attention if anyone in the front wants to short stop. *BOOM* I am like...wtf? Then I got closer to the 4 cars. EVERY person had a spare out from the trunk switching the tires. 4 cars in a row. When I got home, I saw a bubble on my tire. I AM FILING A CLAIM!!!!!

Bummer another busted tire ... I'm leaving my car parked until Spring or at least until the pothole patrols get to work!

I just filled out the claim form.

Ordered one tire on tirerack. I HAD to buy a Pirelli P6 Allroad tire, OEM tire, since all the rest of the 3 are OEM. Also bought the road hazard for JUST IN CASE! There goes $180. Govt BETTER pay for this! I already spent enough on potholes!

After the snowstorms in and around DC and the burbs there are some potholes that are just like canyons; some of those fuckers are two feet deep. But at least here they get filled within a week or two with a temporary fix.
