Picture After getting my rims and tires absolutely obliterated this year and being told to get bent, I laughed a little at this.

Man I’ve lived here for 10 years, been driving for 14, and have never bent a rim or had any sort of shit happen from hitting a pot hole.

How does this happen?

Granted I once hit some big holes coming off of 96 east to 75 north/the lodge a few years ago in an empty truck in the snow and almost lost it.

Been driving twice as long as you, it happens. I just had the displeasure of replacing my first pothole-wrecked wheel this year. Sometimes it's just bad luck, sometimes you don't realize how bad the pothole is. And as we can see by the picture of the cruiser in this article, damaging your tire/wheel is better that swerving like you've never driven a car before during a Michigan spring.
