Me and my D3 were on the news this morning
Live broadcast about potholes this morning caught me and my D3 turning into the arena.

I reached out to my attorney they are crafting a letter asking FOX News for compensation since they didn't have permission to use my or my D3's likeness in their clip. I'm hoping we can settle out of court for a sum that will allow me to buy a new Discovery Vision, I promise to post pictures of me celebrating on the "Event Platform" 16 D4 Landmark

You should have aimed through the pot holes and say that it just doesn't matter if you've got a Discovery!
.... and then TLO could have sent him the bushes he would have to replace after driving through a pothole.... I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I just replaced the ARB bushes 3 weeks ago I have been avoiding potholes as much as possible.
The pothole they refer to on the newscast is merely a "tire blower", we also have "rim benders" and "hungry hungry hippos". Biggest one I've seen could have eaten the front of a Ford Fiesta in one bite. Reminded me of that hole in the desert in Star Wars Return of the Jedi
The city released a website that tracks potholes. It's a major problem given the brutal winter we had. Drivers look like slalom skiers going down the street avoiding the rim benders.16 D4 Landmark
