Tom I think we need to buy Hummer H3s! Or 9-7Xs (I don't know which ones worse honestly)
I live in Miami where constant overnight rains result in water that just soaks the asphalt because of the lack of sun during the night. Anyways, this results in brand new, fresh, unknown potholes for the next morning's drive to work! JOY! And its no better here than up north in the time it takes for them to patch em up...only to redevelop shortly thereafter because of poorly done patching.
Anyways, I drive a Viggen and I've had three severly bent rims in two years. I only had one with my previous 9-3 SE in four years. One pothole was so bad that in addition to destroying the rim, and scratching the Viggen's front lip (the hole was THAT deep), it also bent the control arm resulting in an incredibly expensive repair bill...covered by insurance but still, the $250 deductible, while relatively low, still stings when you multiply it by three!!! I don't even think a Arc, or H3, would've survived that one...well maybe a H3!
I still wouldn't trade my Viggen, or an Aero, for anything else though!
