Drove to Bear Mtn. tonight for a court date. Driving on Palisades there was this huge black area that stretched across the lane. Couldn't cut out in time and hit the pothole. Hit it so hard, the CD skipped. Got a flat and the front is bent bad too. Hit it so hard the paint chipped off. Riding on a donut now and hope I don't hit another pothole on the way home. That can lead to another flat and I'm 50 miles from home. When I got there, a sign read "Court cancelled for Feb. 2nd." 
I should've called ahead of time. I just figured that the cop won't show up and I can get it dismissed. Speeding ticket is BS anyways. Got 5 E60 doing 80 in a 55 zone in the last Bear Mtn. meet.
I know some of you would say I shouldn't be driving with my 20's. But my 124's with RFT are bald. Safer to drive with my Vredesteins.

I'm pretty sure I won the case. Something the cop said to me when he pulled all 5 of us. That's what I'm going to use against the cop. I'm more bummed about having to go again and waste my time.
Now I'm closer to home and all the stress is gone. It was foggy up there. Couldn't see the next mile marker in some areas. Didn't want to have another flat and have someone drive to me and my brother.
On the bright side, I was going to send my wheels back to the manufacturer and get all the barrels replaced anyways.

Looks like I'll be sending these back to get new barrels sooner than I planned.
