Streets of San Francisco Su*K
It takes some getting used to driving the new Evo X in San Francisco. The roads in the City are ****.
I was driving up 2nd or 3rd yesterday south of Market to get on the Bay Bridge and there was a whole section of concrete missing in the road. I didn't see it until the last minute and it went across the whole lane I was in, although much deeper on the left side. I couldn't swerve to avoid it so I gritted my teeth and slammed it with the left front. It was almost the equivelent of hitting a vertical curb head on at 35mph. When I got to my destination I checked the wheel thinking that it must be bent. To my surprise, no bent wheel and the car drives fine so I don't think I messed up the aligment. I'm glad I still have the stock suspension with all the travel. It bottomed hard but the Volk CE28N took it. I guess that's why you pay $700 a wheel.

If In-N-Out went national, it would KILL McDonalds, and I love that Idea.
its like 7 am, and I'm already craving a burger now.
SF has never been a great town for tuners, but I heard the wine makers in Napa make some crazy customs

About the same thing happened to me in the OZ Rally, but I acquired a slow leak in my Yokohama...but the OZ was in perfect shape. Not so luck was a lady in a Volvo wagon that must have hit the same hole, she was pulled over to the right shoulder with a front flat in the rain! D@mn SCDOT!
