Darn Arizona highways!!

[VWnutAZ]

I'm an hour outside of Phoenix coming from California
and I hit a patch of pavement that's being repaired the sign
read "bump". NOTHING about the sharp edges!!




However....
While sitting here waiting for the highway patrol; I've seen a new 991 Porsche cabrio, a Maserati cabrio, a Lamborghini muerciliago and a Bugatti Veron drive by..... Nice eye candy

All those cars were headed this way for the Gold Rush Rally... pretty sweet to see, sorry bout the tire problems.. that sux

I leanred my lesson with low profile tires with my honda.

[VWnutAZ]

So I waited for a Highway Patrolman to show up. He said "yeah that happens to people with low profile tires. He said that they don't write a report unless it's $1000. He said the wheel looked ok; I told him it was actually slightly bent. He got silent when I told him the wheel cost $900. I should have added that the tire is about 300 to 400. He kept on that the State won't cover it. I was thinking; why is it ok for them to alter the highway and damage my property. As a matter of fact he just got through helping a Mk5 GTI with Huffs that got a flat tire from the same thing. sucks.



Saw a Mclaren too..... Ran into the Bugatti again in Phoenix. It had a Michigan Manufacture plate on it.

I came back from California yesterday afternoon on the I-10 in the Tiguan with its' big fat tires and was glad that I wasn't in something with low-profile tires. Sorry to hear about your misfortune Henry!

All of those exotics you saw have low pros. Why nothing happened to them?

[phxpilotmkv]

Cause they're rich bitch. Ba gawk

[VR6inAZ]

I'll be going out that way soon, I'll make sure to watch for it on the way back. That's pretty brutal! I-10 or I-8?

[Paul@VWvortex]

It is the I-10 Eastbound that is the worst, about 50 miles outside of Phoenix IIRC.

FYI, just got back in town and didn't notice/hit anything and there was no sign for "BUMP", might have been already patched up. There was a quite few miles of new pavement about 1-1.5hrs away from PHX as you've said.

[Loke]

This is my worst nightmare right here. No spare in the R32 and I have zigzagged the country a few times and am driving from PHX to the north east in a few weeks. Lots of stretches of road where I have no cell phone signal for miles, driving through the night. How would you even handle a situation like that? Got two flats once rolling over a pot hole that formed under a rail road crossing. Thankfully a cop was along shortly after. ugh. Makes me sick just thinking about it.

I just drove in from California (meaning I got home 10 min ago), and I didn't see this bump anywhere. They must have fixed it.

I hit a pot hole in Phoenix. Broke my axle. SeNt in receipt for new axle, labor towing charges and a picture of the pothole to the city and they reimbursed me for all of it.

ADOT is a little different than the city
