A lot of the roads in my area are way too bad to drive down with the Audis, even the ones with 50-55 series tires. They're even a bit worrisome in the Tahoe.

Choosing which growler of beer to Open: O'Dell's Loose Leaf Pale or the Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout.

My buddies wife lost the "guess how deep" the pothole is game the other night:
$5K worth of damage. Destroyed the whole strut, housing and obviously the tire.
Swanic beware - this happened a 1/2 mile north of Otto's on 202.

My kid did the same thing a few years ago on 81
funny thing about your pic is the wheel looks ok

Agreed. With an impact great enough to rip open a tire you'd think the rim would look a lot worse.

I can see ripping open a tire without damaging the rim...I can't see blowing out the strut and the strut housing without damaging the wheel.

So on the way back from FL I stopped at Baltimore, near the Inner Harbor. Let me tell you, the government must have squashed a war or an aerial bombardment we had down there, because the roads in Baltimore had what appear to be bomb damage. By far worse than Philly.

But your wheels returned home unscathed?

Yup.
Went to the beach at Hutchinson Island on Mon. All of a sudden it started raining and there was a mass exodus to leave. Turned on my car and the CEL came on. Car ran fine.
Bad news. Of course I travel with an OBD2 code scanner. But, it was raining hard, nowhere to pull over, and I was stuck in traffic...
Drove about 20 miles with CEL light on. Whole time I was thinking of all the bad things it could be... VANOS failure, ECM internal fault, multiple misfire codes, etc... Contemplating trying to find a BMW dealer to buy parts that prolly wouldn't be in stock anyway; than laying in the middle of a highway somewhere trying to fix something using pliers in the rain....
When I finally was able to pull over and scan it, I got a DT ML voltage high code, which on BMW means the fuel system has failed it's self pressure test (evaporative emission control).
The gas cap was loose.

Bought a scratch off lottery ticket. Having difficulty deciding to use a quarter or a dime to reveal my winnings. Why do I always have to make the hard decisions?

Too cold to detail today. Cleared the time sent wife shopping and it snowed (flurries) so I didn't get to do it.
Now I gotta re book the time and send her shopping again.
She did however not get ME anything.
Peace and quiet ?
My older son is in from school. We had lunch watched some basketball late dinner with everyone and just watch Kentucky close it out.
Good night all.
