I hate to tell you this, but I think hitting concrete at 95 mph may have had more to do with it than soft metal

I can't speak for roads in NJ but, here in MI pot holes are known to swallow subcompacts whole...

as for the wheel damage, what kind of cement riser did you hit?
like a curb on a divided hwy?

Maybe, but what language capitalizes the first letter of each word, omits the occasional sentence ending punctuation, and uses exclamation marks at the end of some questions?


BTW SILVER HUNTER, I hope you don't take offence. Your post was a bit hard to read and I just thought it was funny.
