I hit one last year and the heat shield has been dragging ever since.

i dunno i find at night is the worst ..i am not gonna drive 30 whereever i have to go...i cant just pay attention to whats in front ihave look far ahead ...but then again my eyes are shot ......


i try to avoid them whenever possible ....staying in the left hand lane helps alot but theres always that one person going extreamly slow in in and i need to swing in the right then Wamoooooo thats when they hit

what sucks is when u see it coming and u cant avoid it because somebody is right beside you ....

I was doing a hard right turn and hit a big-a$$ pothole with the left front. Didn't think anything of it until I found on Friday morning that I had a flat. One 700km used winter tire destroyed as it cut through the side wall. And I didn't buy it where they do road hazard warranty! Dammit!

I drive with 50 series tires on a tire/rim combo that weighs in at nearly 45 lbs/wheel..

Maybe not the snappiest handling, but the potholes get out of my way. like I was chuck norris

but seriously -- there's bumps and cracks in the road that would have me cringe in the focus (and in my GF's altima), that the stang just steamrolls (with a bit of cowl shake)...

it's quite undramatic.

They've been pretty horrible over in Scarborough. My suspension is starting to tell me that its had enough (its making some pretty yucky creaks and groans anymore, and only 42k miles on the odometer!)..

The neighbor's van got eaten by a pothole on Warden & Sheppard a couple weeks ago.. $500 later to replace the rim, tire, and some other minor damage to the goodies there.

I say my broken sway bar is due to the pounding it has taken this year. Sway bar is on it's way, and end links are sitting at UPS store (along with flex pipe) waiting my pickup.
