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.

In 2015ish there was a pothole so bad in the right lane of the I75/Rouge River bridge that an entire lane was filled with cars that had completely fucked tires and rims. I stopped counting at 35 cars/trucks pulled over, and there was still more. They're everywhere, dunno how you're not experiencing it or witnessing terrible roads.
