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.

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

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

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

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 ?

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

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 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!

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

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.

B64c you need a torque wrench its not good to over tighten lugs

good advice. i always torque my tires down. its good practice.



as for the pothole. thats why i take the highway to get everywhere. that and hamilton cops can be just as annoying :nod:

:rolleyes:

Yeah, well...

please don't start that in my thread. or any other thread for that matter.

How on earth can you torque a tires down? is the rim threaded? :scratch:

That sucks Jon, maybe i will get to see the car on the road again one day :mrgreen:

:lol: yeah once i get back, ill be all over with it probably.

meh tires wheels go figure. haha well if slicks are drilled to the wheel cant that be torqued? :lol:

:rofl:
