I noticed also that my winter OEM 19s hav rock chips on them - no doubt due to the extra crap on the roads this winter. Ive had painted wheels before but never saw random chips in the wheels.

And speaking of worst stretch of roads, the right lane of the FDR Drive, just before the Southbound 34th Street exit, has to be the worst stretch of road in NYC. For those of you who do not know, the undulations in this road section are so bad it bottoms out your car, and everyone who knows about this section gets in the middle lane to avoid the right lane, even though the middle lane is full of potholes. So you will see all these cars, at the last minute, darting from the middle lane to the exit, at the right lane, just to avoid that stretch of road. |

I never drive to Manhattan. If I have to go to JFK from NJ, I take the v bridge from NJ to brooklyn. It's not just the potholes but the crazy cab drivers and a million other things that is wrong with that place (for driving)!

I don't know if it was yesterday or Monday, but there was a news report of a couple who drove off the 70 foot high elevated highway (I think it was the Cross Bronx Exp). The husband was driving and apparently swerved to avoid a huge pothole, hit the side and went over. Amazingly, the car landed on its wheels and the couple only suffered some major bumps and bruises.
