So.. I just got home for thanksgiving and my birthday this weekend. Should be a good week off from school....
After visiting a friend. I am coming down a decent slope into right corner that levels out after. It is dark .. and there was gravel all over the road (noticed on my way up the hill) So I took the turn wide going into the other lane and about 2/3 through the turn, WHAM!!!! .. in my gut I know i just bent my rim....
this is what i found...

Turns out.. i walked over after changing my tire .. a road crew cut a 3x3 square out of the road to work on a water pipe, and filled the hole in with gravel.. well with 3 days straight of rain.. all the gravel was removed.....and wondering how i missed seeing this huge hole.. was explained by the dam thing being filled with muddy water from today's rain..
:crybaby 1::argh 1::crybaby 1:
Funny, but terrible thing is... as i am changing my tire (i am like 100 ft from the hole) about six others hit the hole.. and two of them blew out there tires...
And so... if you want nice things.. seriously expect the worse, because shits just going to catch up with you sooner or later.... I am just praying that I didnt bend a control arm.. or ruin a ball joint or something... I will find out tommorrow !
