The Chuckhole Central

The Twin Cities are fucking pothole central these days, and have been all winter.

You've already dented two rims driving back and forth to work. Seriously. You aren't exaggerating. Two rims. Dented. The streets and highways are fucked up.

You had to order a new rim and tire for the car a few weeks back. Then you took the bent rim into the basement and pounded it out with a hammer, so now the rim looks like complete shit on one side and needs to be balanced, but at least it's round again.

You were using the fucked-up rim as a spare until a few days ago when you hit another pothole on the Minneapolis I-94 ramp. This pothole was the size of a bathtub. OK, you're exaggerating a little now, but the chuckhole you hit WAS huge. It sounded like you hit a wall.

And now you have another bent rim. This one is worse than the other. You'll probably spend your next day off pounding the shit out of it with a dead-blow hammer.

These rims are over $300 a pop. And having them professionally fixed is like $100 a pop, or possibly more. You're thinking the cost of fixing your rims and tires should be deducted from your state taxes.

If the douchebag in charge of fixing the streets in the Minneapolis is reading this...hey, you're doing a hell of job, you dick licker.
