Ok, so this happend in my daily driver and thankfully not the BOSS, but wanted to share the danger of Potholes anyways.
Was on I-85 Northbound coming from Charlotte 2 nights ago, it was raining and I had entered the Construction zone (they are redoing all the Interstate roads here in this area), it was raining and the Speed limit was 55MPH, and it was pitch black out, so I was going slower than normal (50MPH roughly). I was in the right hand lane, because all the idiots that don't know how to drive in rain where speeding by in the left lane at way above the legal limit for the section of road under construction. I didn't see the PotHole, but it saw my car, i hit hard, and it started to throw the car into the left lane, luckily i was able to keep it pretty much in my lane, and no-one was beside me.
It was dark when I arrived home, so I didn't see this until morning. But apparently I hit so hard that it bent both Passenger side rims. Talking with the Insurance Company today on what to do, as on this car I have everything from the rims to the wrap to the body kit insured.
The Car is still drivable, but obviously this needs to be fixed and the car checked for further suspension/axel damage.
While this sucks for sure, I guess it could have been worse, I could have dumped the car into the K-Rails they have on both sides of the 2 lane construction, or could have hit another vehicle, or could have been more damage. Or Worse case could have done this to the BOSS...
So watch out for the PotHoles, If I would have seen this one, I would have done everything to try miss it, but now I am going to be allot more cautious around them for sure.
