Pothole Victim

It didn't.  Decades of deferred maintenance cannot be fixed with a one time influx of money, especially when only a small percentage of the stimulus went to infrastructure.

Yeah yeah yeah.  Try dodging potholes at night on roads with no streetlights.
the stimulus monies should have helped that situation.

My wife aims for potholes, I do not know why?

[Rick Rowlands]

I know Allan. 

I heard that a car got one of its tires stuck in a pothole.  The hole was deep enough to take the tire down to the frame, and just narrow enough for the tire to get wedged in.   

There is a drainage problem directly in front of my house and water under the pavement froze resulting in several holes.  All of that pulverized blacktop ended up in my front yard and I spent half a day yesterday raking up six wheelbarrow loads of stone off the grass.

I was only being silly....

Yeah yeah yeah.  Try dodging potholes at night on roads with no streetlights.

I had a similar experience, except that I was paying attention to the road,
slowed down my car, and drove over the pothole without further incident...


LOL

The pothole bent the rim and blew the tire.  My wife's car did that three winters ago on Henrick's Road.   But since that rim was steel when I got back home I heated up the bent portion and pounded it back into place.

the car was a foriegn car that had a bent tire rim. maybe if the owner bought an american made car he/she would never had a bent tire rim.

You might have heard at the GDNA meeting, one of my neighbors said he broke an axle on S. Lakeview. (not this year, although it's pretty bad this year, too.)

Here is another victim of a Youngstown pothole.
I can only guess how much it is going to cost to repair this car.
