The roads in Missouri are not much better I dodge several holes on my way to work. One that they fix twice a year (a large patch) takes up all but about one or two feet of one lane on a two lane road. It is about four to five feet in length as well and several inches deep. This one (which happens to be okay at the moment) worries me most of all. You basically have to stop if someone is coming and go around it.
Sad thing is watching the news the other day I doubt the roads get much better. They were saying they are going to have to possibly do less road repair due to the rising costs of crude which happens to be a major ingredient to the pavement. Not like they do a good job of fixing the roads most of the time anyway.
Good thing you stayed in control though a blown tire could have been bad. Do you know if your suspension is ok or have you checked that out yet?

thanks guys. the pothole is at the bottom of exit ramp off 53 at nw going south. so yea if u take that way avoid it haha. and as far as my suspension...when we put on the donut its slightly crooked, but my dad said it still spins true and doesnt wobble at all, so were assuming no axle damage. im taking it into to a local shop tomarrow to have them see wat the problem is..then take it from there.
the only thing that sucks is on the phone they said that with something like that, if a part needs to be replaced im prolly guna have to get it done at a dealership since they obv dont carry those parts. which would REALLY suck.
