I hurt my 430

Yesterday I hit a pothole at 74MPH. Blew out the left front tire and bent my rim

Sorry to hear that. Just realize it could have been much worse. Like hitting a pothole, loosing control and hitting a tree for instance.

It hurts to see that! But on the other hand you are lucky that 'only' the tire and rim are damaged. It could have ended much worse...

I thought Obama took care of those pot holes?

In the first Picture your Mechanic with the MG looks like he is already using a Calculator...

No, that is Tom. Picking me up 1.5 hours away in his custom V8 MGB. That was very nice of him

Always sad to see a Ferrari on a towtruck (though not uncommon

). But this damage can be fixed easily.

Good luck!

I do like Tom's MGB He did it right replaced all the wiring and added a V8
Had MG made that change in the 70s they may still be around.
Nice touch the tow Truck Dedicated to Ferrari and Maserati ....

That is why I scrambled off the highway after my blowout. Most highways have tow deals with stupid companies.

This guy was very knowledgeable, and had the car on there in no time.
