Thanks Hamilton Township.
For keeping your roads in such good shape! A nice sized pot hole on Arena drive ate the front passengers rim to the Chevelle just two days before Ocean City. Now I am trying to scramble, get the wheel fixed, get the car aligned, and somehow pray nothing on the frame/chassis took any damage. The wheel is just bad enough to leak air every time it gets weight on it, I just got pissed when I put my spare on and the steel belts decided they wanted to shift, and I got to trailer the car home.  another exciting evening.

They would have fixed it but they spent all the taxpayers money trying to add traffic lights at every intersection, making a circle on george dye road, and redesigning the intersection at the post office.

I haven't really been taking the 70 SS396 out too much yet because the roads are so crappy.

The roads are trash every where Jon, I just found out I dented the rim on my motorcycle, I should take pictures of this one section on my road, it look like the 1945 Berlin.

Sucks to hear. I had to get the rim on the bird fixed from a pothole I hit hard not but a minute from my old apartment. I'm breaking in the new S60 rear with the stock 16's and my DR's right now since they can take a hit with the 50 series sidewalls. Ridiculous!

tossed my drag lites on, took the car to the alignment shop, no damage thank god. My buddy who owns a fab shop in the area took the wheel and straightened it with some heating and some persuasion. Drove it home, everything is good, just gotta put a wheel stud in the front (broke one this morning tightening the DLs) and some other odds and ends. It goes on the trailer tomorrow afternoon.
