My poor baby's checkup hasn't gone so well...
Took the car in to get the wheels balanced after I started noticing a vibration at around 40mph. Shop calls and says she's got two bent wheels (passenger front driver rear) and a small bubble in the tire in the passenger front. There was a big pot hole that I took driving one evening a couple weeks ago and that must have been it as it was on the passenger side.
Murica needs better roads.

Got the t-shirt. It happens. Bent wheels are kind of like Louisiana termites: Those that have them and those that will get them....

She's all better now. Got her back yesterday. Wheels repaired and new right front tire (P7 for $69 on the road hazard warranty). Wheels are balanced and right front alignment done. $544 were lit on fire in honor.

I also have two bent wheels, with minimal curve rash. I never hit a pot hole or anything like that. I think is just a weak wheel that minimal damage can cause it to bend.
