A follow up to this... My car had 2 tire blow outs and 2 bent rims. Both on the left. As I was going back to my car another car was getting towed...he hit the same pothole...both tires on left flat. I talked to tow truck driver and he said the newest car was #4 he had to tow for that day. They had since put a cone in the hole. WHY wasn't it there long before???
