bad luck today
i was driving north on the parkway, going like 70. and i noticed a small pot hole (couldnt avoid it, i saw it right before i hit it) but when i hit it, i guess it was real deep, cuz l i heard a big bang, and then my strut was making a loud clunking noise. so i pull over to take a look. and nothing seems to be lose, so i drive a little on the shoulder and whenever i go over bumps the clunking noise is there and bigger the bump louder the clunk. luckly i was pretty close to my uncles house, so i drive real slow to get there. i pop the hood and i pressed on the car, the car went down but my strut was jsut sitting there. so my guess is that my strut mount is gone. i was so pissed, why was that deep pot hole in the middle of the freeway? they seriously need to fix that ****. damn this sucks. now i have to fix this damn thing,and i have like no money. damn... theres a reason why i pay freaking 70 cents to use the parkway. this blows... did this ever happend to anyone before? im so pissed.

the thing is i cant take any pics to prove it. the car is ok, the rims are good. you can only tell if someone else was in the car with me. and the freeway is so busy, i dont think i can ever get a pic of that pothole, but i do know the exact location is though. thanks for all the help guys i really appreciate it.. but jersey charges everyone 25 cents to get on the parkway and another 70 cents every 35 miles and another 25 cents to get back everytime i use the parkway. thats whats pissing me off. their taking my money and and buying their bmws instead of fixing roads.
