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. :lol: 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.

[band77one]

you talking about the post office on rt130 near Body by Mule?

[z28rob18]

yea that stupid circle that i drive over evertime i go near it wit the truck. that was a terrible idea

[JL8Jeff]

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

[band77one]

i havent been up there in 6 months cause i got laid off so idk what they did up there anymore lol did they get that damn shopping center finished up ?

[BonzoHansen]

...if it wasn't for bad luck, I woudn't have no luck at all...

[ar0ck]

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.

[Tru2Chevy]

Sucks to hear Jon....hopefully you can get it fixed and there won't be any other damage.

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!

[baddest434]

thats my kinda luck jon. hope all works out for you.

[bad64chevelle]

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.
