Ditto. Thank goodness you weren't hurt.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

You were sooo lucky that it wasn't YOUR car!
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

I have 10-ply on my truck...only a mutant dock spider could puncture those.

That sucks Wayne!
Beats just damaging the tire and having it explode unexpectedly at highway speed later on though.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Ford,
Check the weather for Barrie, Bracebridge, and Huntsville, whatever day you're planning to head North.
I was up at Axiom last weekend doing some listening tests and an overnight blizzard buried my car in 3-ft drifts. "Chunk", one of the Axiom guys, literally lifted the front of my aging CRX out of the snowbank and sent me on my way.
I drove down on Sunday in blowing snow to Barrie, then it cleared up and was sunny all the way.
Sorry to hear about the huge pothole. I once hit one leaving New York, and I'm sure it broke my front right spring. There was a terrible thud, but no misalignment, tire damage or other symptoms. A mechanic later pointed out the broken spring.
Good luck on the next trip.
Regards,
Alan

Better to spend the money and get on the 407 from Burlington to the 400 and avoid the traffic.

Wayne, I'd contact Ancaster's city hall and see if they'll reimburse you. I know they do in Toronto, and the same applies to Ontario highways. You just NEED photo evidence, which you obviously have.

I was up at Axiom last weekend doing some listening tests Hmmmm....a QS-10 now? You don't have to say anything, as I'm sure you're not allowed to. I'll just spread the rumor on the assumed QS10!
