yea.. curbs suck... My passenger side front tire has 4 scratches almost exactly 90 degrees apart.. you think out that at least one of those times.. i'd have hit in the same spot.. but no. sigh.

I actually hit it coming out of a damn gas station car wash place, on Citrus Park. There was an extrememly tight curve right after you pass the drying section. It's my front right rim.

My problem is pot holes. My sidewalls are so short that the rim gets slammed every time.
