PENNDOT can suck my ass! I hit a crater on my way home from work…damn near gave me whiplash…CD player skipped. so I’m driving along and my car is pulling to the side…I’m like shit, my car is out of alignment. I keep driving and by the time I get halfway down 79, my car is shaking. I pull over and my tire is flat. I couldnt see to change it, and I was wearing a suit, so I called a tow truck to have towed to the shop. I AM SO PISSED! This is going to cost me an assload of money, especially if i Screwed the front end up ---

I feel your pain bud! I bent one of my wheels last winter when I hit a pothole on I79. :mad: And my luck, my wheels are aluminum, so I can’t bend the wheel back without risking shattering it. I finally got around to buying some new wheels though actually, so I won’t need to worry about it anymore. 🆒 ---

PennDOT said on the radio yesterday that they almost never cover damage from potholes unless there is specific evidence of negligence (or something to that effect). I hit a couple this morning. It was either the hole, the guard rail, or an oncoming car. I should have bought the unlimited alignments from Firestone that Whitey told us about. ---
