Well it didn't take long...

I lost my left front tire and rim to the mother of all potholes at 6:45AM on the Garden State Parkway this morning... With 845 miles on the odometer... This just sucks...

sorry dude... I know what thats like

yeah, it sucks over there for potholes... I used to live in Bergen County.
years ago I hit a pothole in Queens, NY that blew the tire and bent the rim... I put on my spare and then hit a pothole crossing the George Washington Bridge (that same night) and bent the rim on my spare
I went home and put on 2 snows until I got my tire fixed

137ish left lane shoulder (trying to avoid a piece of wood)...

No pics, I went straight to the dealer to have them replaced... Road hazard should cover the cost but just the "Ah crap" factor.

Sons-a-bitchs sent the fudged-up rim out to get the tire mounted because the "damage was not structural"... Tool bags, even if that is the case DON"T YA THINK I WANT TO SEND THE DAMN THING OUT TO GET REPAIRED!!!!!???? Now I have to wait for the rim and tire to get back to the dealer and have the pin heads break the tire back off to ship the rim out to Wheels America on Monday. I hate stupid people...

My ex gfs dad smashed my passenger side mirror by accident on the first weekend I owned the car. A week later i tapped my friend when she stopped going into an intersection while i was looking behind me for the merge. I put a crease in the bumper, have her license plate numbers indented in my bumper and bent my bumper brace outta wack.

Why don't they just give you a brand new wheel?
