the rates are that bad on my car…to the point of where i dont even want to drive it. not because of the discomfort of the impact, but because the car is really a challenge to control when going over the rough pavement that is so common in the buffalo area. i just want to be able to enjoy my commute to work again rather than keeping it in a garage and driving the winter beater to work year round like ive been.
