    Wow what a f***ing day

    Went down to greenville Nc yesterday for the Go-expo carshow and stereo comp,got 1st place in accord class and 3rd in 0-600wt stereo class(140.6 0n termlab). But on the way home after the show around 9:30 last night I hit a monster pothole on the highway running about 65,10-12" deep pothole vs 215-35-18s, pot hole won.To make matters worse since it was close to home I didnt bring my spare like i usually do when traveling to shows.After getting turned down by atleast 6 diffrerent tow companies because "I am a lowered custom car" I afinally got a roll back to get me at 3am(because of time change) I finally got home at 5:30 this morning.Keep in mind its only an hour and 1/2 trip normally,plus cost me $330

    here is how day started



    the competiton





    the aftermath,front clip busted plus had to take it and rear off just to get on rollback

    Damn that sucks. At least the rim isn't bent (didn't look like it) Towing a lowered car always sucks

      It's one of the evils of having a lowered car. I hit a pot hole in St. Louis last night that would have made you SWEAR that the 91 Toyota Camry was invincible. I could only imagine a pot hole riding on those tires.
      Been a long time. Still alive...

        File a claim with the proper transportation authority for that highway, you might just get all your money back.

          Man... yeah, I smacked a pothole today. I haven't checked to see if any damage was done, but the tire is holding air at least. I beat the piss out of my rims, though... they're on my work car. I don't expect them to stay nice! I couldn't have a show car like yours... I'd destroy it in 6 months.
