There's this straight road on the highway where I drive on everyday. Occasionally I go up to 100's mph on it. I think the max I did with the Lancer GTS is 105mph on that straight road.

When I had my Mazda 3, I have done 110mph on it.

I only do it when there's no car in front of me on that straight road. I would never in consider endangering any person on the road.

you could try getting the city to pay for it, its happened to me before. i went over a pothole on the highway and bent the $h!t out of my rim on my s-10 and reported it to the city and lucky me they hadn't marked it. therefore, they had to pay the damages

LOL, I was thinking the opposite. Why would they want to offer road hazard program when they know there's more than 50% chance you'll be going back to them? eh..

They don't have it at my dealership because roads in New England sucks especially during Winter. Pot holes everywhere! and the new pot holes developed before they fix the old ones.

oh what they do around here is horrid they just fill the potholes in with like z grade asphalt and when they do finally patch them its only a little section in the road so its going to be super bumpy when its done...

Yeah the Maritimes in Canada in also horrible for potholes. The only way the city will reinburse you is if they were aware of the pothole and did not take the appropiate measures to rectify it in a timely manner. (including that crap filler)

I know, because so far I have been rejected three times or bent rims later, lol. Some places, if the damage is not that bad use rim straighteners and for about 100$ will get your rim close to new again.
