We have bad ones here in Canada also.

I think they are all over. With all the roads out there, the DOT's just keep up with getting them patched fast enough.

Thanks David. Very funny indeed and true no matter where you live.

David, are the ones in Canada as bad as the ones in the video?

Hopefully not, but my son got a cracked front windshield and a ruined tire from hitting one in Toronto a few weeks ago. About $1000 damage.

@david-green Ruined tires from pot holes in Chicago area are common. However, I never heard of a cracked windshield from one of them.

Shocked him too. Mazda 5 and likely body flex. Gardiner Expressway at 80 kph with no chance to avoid.

The potholes in Michigan are vicious and have been for years. That's why with each new vehicle I lease comes with tire and rim insurance. The cost of the four repairs I've had in the last ten+ years has way more than paid for it.

That's one of the funniest videos I have seen. Thanks for the laughs David; so appreciate you sir! (I'm still chuckling over the fish and dog running off with it!)

Can't be as bad as the roads in New Jersey. In the past 8 years I've replaced 10 tires. Prior to that I replaced a tire and a left front fender. Thankfully I have the tire and wheel insurance. The fender was covered by my insurance company and a claim to the Bridge and Tunnel Authority paid me for the insurance deducible. Happy motoring!

@jcarnutz Good call on the tire/wheel insurance package John. I did the same when I bought my new car last June; by August they had already replaced a rear tire. My plan also includes door dings repair and leather interior rips.
