Default DAMN chi-town roads

ok so i make a trip to the chi every weekend from my house in Michigan, normally it's expected that something breaks or goes bad on the return trip home, that's just how it is. The roads in chicago and the interstate there are terrible, one time i hit a pot hole that knocked my car out of alignment and pushed me 3 lanes over. One time i blew 2 radiator hoses at one time. And this time My damn bumper fell off! Before i left i saw my fron bumper was sagging a little, I didnt have the time to fix it right so i threw some zip-ties on it, Jspec mother effer! and hoped it would hold......NOPE! sure as hell not so i was goin down I-94 and hit a LITTLE bump and i heard it scraping, hoping it was only on one side. so i rode it like that til the next exit. i got off the exit and pulled into th gas station. Did you know that at 2pm in the ghetto it is still dark??? so, i get out and look at my bumper, HANGING UNDER MY CAR!!!!! i went in and asked the hadgies if the had a phillips head screw driver, all I got for an answer was Bljalybavytlvytblsynbls...... some junk I didn't understand. so i was stuck in the parking lot with my thumb in my *** tryin to figure out how the hell im gonna A) fix it or B) take it off and cram it in my back seat. Well i was thinkin about asking the nearest person for a screwdriver or plyers. The nearest person was a wino. so what the hell i asked him anyway, and sure enough....HE HAD PLYERS!!!! So I got it off and went home. My car looks like anus. My JDM bumper is pretty much ruined.

i know you all have it bad but knoxville is a close second. hell next year they are going to shut down i-40 thru town and the only way around is going to be i-640 the city bypass. oh boy i can't wait they have had i-40 messed up for years hell knoxville's official vehicle is a dump truck. our official tree is a orange barrel. and they are calling this smart fix 40 hahahaha yeah right

yea i got it back on LATE last night, the mounts were burned off so i had to ghetto that **** on, but it isn't goin anywhere now lol. also when i lifted it up i found out my camber was off 6 deg on one side and 8 on the other. I have Skunk2 adjustable camber kit so it was an easy fix but man i was pissed! those roads blow!
