The pothole from hell

A few weeks ago I hit the pothole from hell. I'll spare you all the gory details but will tell you that this became an enormous production because it turned out that the rims were not factory installed. It is no exaggeration to say that I spent HOURS tracking down this mystery rim. I was finally able to locate it in Jacksonville, FL.

Here is the financial breakdown:
Cost to change tire that went flat due to damaged rim: $15.49
Cost to repair damaged rim: $ 139.85
Cost to replace rim that was damaged beyond repair: $ 210.74
Cost to put new rim on car: $34.56

TOTAL: $400.54

You cannot, however, put a price tag on the amount of aggravation this caused me.
