    Usually I cannot feel pot holes in my car but this one I sure did! I hit it at 120km/h. There's probably skid marks there now.

    MAN that was a big drop, not so much a pot hole, but a change in elevation hahaha...I saw it at the last minute and went around it, the Civic behind me did the same!

    If you look closely at the hole, you will notice ALOT of scratches in it, meaning alot of people didn't notice it, and went crashing in!

    just sit there and start collecting bumpers... that thing is gonna eventually rip someone's bumper right off!

    Yeah you'll probably see some yellow paint on that pot hole from my car!!! I didn't even know there was room to swerve around it. Thought it was single lane. I guess I should pay attention to the "slow down" sign. Guess I got a little too excited!!

    I wondered why those signs were there last time I went out to race city for a solo event. Didn't seem that bad last time I was by, guess its gotten worse over the last week or so...

    That hole almost took illusionsirs front bumper straight off. I was surprised that his whole body kit didn't come flying off at the angle and speed that he hit it.
    You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
