Crash...kinda

Excerpt from my blog:
"Don't get me wrong, I like trucks. But when a stupid redneck has to make it insanely high and wide with off-road suspension it needs to stay off road. You know what im talking about, the truck is so high that the lights are level with your rear-view mirror. It takes actual climbing to get inside of the cab of the truck. The reason im talking about these redneck trucks are because one ran me off of Aiken Road. If you have traveled aiken road, near flat rock, you know how narrow it is, and having a huge redneck truck with a width of near 12ft doesn't help when traveling it. I was going head on to him and he didn't budge an inch, i was doing 40mph when I had to go off the right side of the road and have my yokohama front right tire blow, due to the crappy state of the side of that road. I hit a 2ft deep pot hole and blew out my tire. Thanks to whoever that was, its gonna cost me $150 to get that tire replaced, as well as possibly having to re-align the front end. But hey its ok, just try and go off the road next time, you'll have an easier time than me in my car."

Sorry to hear about that. Think on the bright side since it was only a tire and alignment.

ya, I heard like a big rubbing sound (cause I drove quarter of mile with blown tire to safety) and actually thought it was my entire bumber. I thought the right side hit and fell off cause I hit the pothole so hard.

I would have the rim checked out as well, and I bet you will need that alignment too.

We've got one fucknut here (among others) that has a F250 like that. Forget rear-view mirror, though, try bumper. It's times like these that I wish shooting people wasn't so illegal.

And yeah, what gsclifton said about checking the rim.

align for sure... but just check the rim to see if its bend. In many cases of potholes, rims are subject to bend due to the impact.
