> [@YFZ460](#): > > Stop by Govel’s and see if they can fix it. More likely than not we could. I know it’d take some work to make it look 100% since its on the outside, but with some sanding and polish, it sure can be done. BBS wheels aren’t cheap! :angry2 Whats the number? I could drop by after work tomorrow with the wheel ---

damn that sucks, my road is nuts, there is a 1/2 mile strip that is nothing but potholes. myself and my dad both had belts blow on our tires, i went to the town and they said to suck it up and wouldn’t pay for the tire. some of these potholes are probally about 6 inches deep. :idiots ---

check out the intersection in schenectady at the bottom of broadway, where it meets veeder ave. if you’ve ever driven through there you’ll know exactly what i’m taking about. its like fuckin offroading through there. seriously. its like a patch of a patch of a patch. i agree, these holes, and rough roads have been this way for a LONG time. there is no excuse why they couldn’t have been remedied by now. your tax dollars hard at work! ---

:lol no i was asking you if that was the area on Washington Ave that you were talking about. And i’ll be back like Sunday, probably won’t be out in my car(s) for a week or so. I need money for gas and nitrous :banana … so if anyone that’s going to be swinging by the Latham area on the way out to the lot(s) wouldn’t mind giving me a ride, that’d be cool. ---

Well, yeah he’d have to see it… you’d be surprised at the volume of things coming through our shop (especially wheels with all sorts of damage). Rule of thumb, if we can’t see it, we can’t fix it. ---
