Does anyone else feel like their car is being killed by POTHOLES?

<VENTING>

I am so sick of driving around cringing every 30 seconds as i feel my s2000 smashing into yet another pothole. I can just feel them taking their toll on the car and i am fed up with it. I try to avoid them, but there are just too many of them. Why do i pay local and state taxes again? Are other parts of the country as bad as PA?

I work on a army arsenal, and they are horrible here! You can't dodge them, due to the fact they are on every side of the road! Road care has definetly taken a turn for the worse! I think my car is beginning to hate me!

You do, apparently, live in "Pottsville", that should have been a clue.

Washington state is full of holes. Even the major interstate freeways are bad.

Pot holes in CO are out of control. With the variations in temp from 60 to below freezing over night, pot holes are everywhere.

Living in Eastern Canada, potholes are pretty much a given any time of the year. I've seen them literally more than a foot deep plus you get a lot of minor washouts on the sides of the roads. Glad I have 75series tires on my Accord!
