That whole road is a patch work of fail... Even the sidewalk.
Great day of skiing at Sunapee yesterday. 20’s, little bit of sun, surface loosened up nicely.
FWIW a buddy who lives in Pennsylvania claims they have the best potholes!
You can't see it in the picture but there's another one right at the top of the street so if you take a right turn and you're hugging the curb you're going to hit it it's just that I've memorized it from like 6 Plus months ago so I know not to hit that one without even thinking about it you kind of make a little truck driver turn at the top of that hill to avoid it

A few years back one road in my town had some seriously deep pot holes on short section a main road, took them a month or so to fix them. These were call a tow truck bad...
Another f***ing tire gone tonight honestly if I didn't have an economic investment here I'd be moving out of New England tomorrow I'm f***ing livid. f*** this bullshit. It wasn't down but I saw the Bulge in the sidewall and I heard hissing when i got in the driveway.... what the f***... *yells at clouds* I'm sure that f***er will be flat in the morning. 
ETA: and no this wasn't the same pothole this was one that was even closer to my house that I've been intentionally driving around for like a week going on a side street but then I f***ing forgot tonight....

I just went back outside and its still got air in it, maybe the hissing was from something else, but theres definitely a nice sidewall bulge in it. IDGAF at this point im lighting up a cigar and having a thimble of bourbon, f*** it. ![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
Since most of the roads are like rate limited now im strongly thinking of selling one of my cars and getting a V8 BOF SUV with f***ing massive kevlar reinforced tires though. I'm sick of this shit.

That s*cks.
For fun, I would send the bill to the town with a picture of the pothole.

I look at these sports cars with low-profile tires and I don’t know how they do it in New England. Plus most of these chodes can't even put on a spare tire without calling AAA to save their ass.

I've popped 4 or 5 in 40,000 miles on my car. I have the insurance thankfully and they are run flat so I'm not stuck. But the tires kinda suck as they are RFT's
Thankfully it was a half false alarm, but still got a bulge out of that shit. At least the tires on that car are like 4 yrs old. Which for me is a long time. (I'm basically replacing skins every couple years or so. )
