This reminds me... I have to renew my AAA Membership

Cross Bronx isn't that bad cause on average you're only traveling at 15 mph... Grand Central is much worse with it's speed bumps adjacent to LaGuardia Airport...

Damn dude I am sorry to hear what happened to your wheels. What was it two week ago i seen your car & the wheels were sitting just right
With all the damn taxes we pay you would expect DOT to do a better job in maintaining our road way... We really do have it bad as compare to places like Florida even Toronto have it better & it snows like the North Pole there.

My roads are not as bad as yours, however I inflate my tires to 38 PSI, running on 19s. I just feel like I need to give myself a bit of a cushion to not bend one.
