I was driving down Sheridan at Parker in Tonawanda and there was a drain pipe lid sticking up in the middle of the road that you couldn’t see. This is what it did to my wheel. I have never seen anything like this. ---

They just did a bunch of hole patching around east aurora the past two days with it being a little nicer out. I give it till the first plow, stuff just doesn’t last when put down in the cold. ---

Yeah I called the police and my insurance company is going to go after them to pay for it. There was no way around it. It wouldn’t be bad if it was just the tire but the whole wheel is a disaster LOL. anyone know of an SRT-4 wheel for sale? ---

Is there a NOCO gas station on the corner of Parker and Sheridan? If so, I stopped at the NOCO gas station on Sheridan (across from Walgreens I believe) after coming from NOCO’s corporate building down the street (auditing them). As I was leaving, I pulled out onto Parker to turn left onto Sheridan and there were two (I will assume) highway workers who walked over to the corner in the street with a flashlight checking the street. I saw the “pipe” you referenced and it honestly didn’t look too terrible. You may have just caught the pipe at a bad angle. A cop car was sitting in the gas station waiting for them I guess. They checked it out while I was waiting at the redlight and then bounced basically. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gotta-love-wny-streets/63686.md?page=2)
