Description
Hit this monstrosity at 8am this morning. Blew both tires, bent both wheels, and possible suspension damage. I was going THIRTY. There are so many other things to lookout for when driving like bikers, foot traffic, other cars... we shouldn't have to look out for moon craters. Yes this is a duplicate post, but the first post was from Feb... what's taking so long City Hall? Quit working from home and fix our streets. BTW, I am having my car repaired in a different city, so you don't get the sales tax. Thanks.
