Unfortunately it was raining and dark so the pothole wasn’t visible- it snuck up on me!
That is my true belief.

Yeah but then you just hit something up higher like a light pole or stop sign.

Fair, but that was posted 2 days ago and they are already closed so pretty crappy for the employees. And this restaurant is owned by one of the largest restaurant groups in the city so I'm sure they could have flexed some staff there for a bit longer of a windown.
In any event I spent many a night there in college and post college and like a handful of other places in the neighborhood am sad to see it go.
I know, so disappointed for South Oakland. There's others around to get the gobblerito fix but man, a ton of memories there.

AWD on the other hand will get you moving better on ice but I think some drivers believe it makes you stop or corner faster.

I'm sure I could handle it in a modern car with electronic traction help and modern tires!

A bunch of young yahoos (and I was one, too; but wiser in the ways of snow) passed me on 103 heading into Ludlow, VT after flashing their lights for me to move it for a while... my thought was for them to learn a mild lesson, no one gets hurt, no major damage to the Subie... and, lo and behold and unsurprisingly, a nice left hand sweep to get into downtown Ludlow with a small village green on the right, there was said Subie sideswiped into the large snowbank created by plowing. No one appeared hurt, not sure about the right side of Subie, but I'll hope a lesson was learned.
I arrived, as usual (and luck?), unscathed and ready to do young yahoo-y things on the slopes.

And, of course, feed the hamster and oil his wheel regularly.

———————————————Boy, don’t I know what that’s like and I told that story above. Those are the type of pot holes that could result in chipped teeth.

I have yet to find that speed but I’m sure if there is such a thing, you and @roadburner have found it.

My Lincoln had that suspension.
I can understand an adjustable suspension but I’m talking about a “pot hole detector”. Did you try your suspension on pot holes and noticed a difference compared to other cars you owned? If so that system would be a tire and rim saver worth paying for.

Why would I intentionally run over a pothole?
It's taken me a long time to trust things like stop and go cruise control and auto hold on hills.

The best way I know of to verify if something works as advertised is to test it. When you buy a car you try the brakes and the accelerator pedal to see if the car performs those functions. Hell, you even make a call with your cell phone to see if it works before leaving the store. So, until you test something you’re just taking someone’s word for it. See what I mean?

The weather in the Burgh area is supposed to be pretty similar. I don’t know what the famous PA rodent said about the coming of Spring but next week is going to be pretty good for these parts of the woods.

Did you ever run into something to make sure your 5 mph bumpers would work?
Oh oh, i got this one!
Because you have a vehicle to your immediate left and a pedestrian on the shoulder so you have no choice but to grit your teeth and take the hit.

Got parked downtown and walked to a bar before our they’re show and it was up to 7. Didn’t bother to zip my coat.

Jm referenced 'trying out' the functionality, not being forced to.
My pothole incident looks to be about a $700 incident, between a new tire, wheel repair and an alignment.

I did better than that. Not too long after I got Mrs. j her 2018 Subie Legacy Limited (that she didn’t want), I tested the automatic braking feature by placing a large cardboard box in the driveway. I then pulled into the driveway faster than I ever did and yeah the brakes stopped the car before it hit the box. Of course my foot was ready to pounce on the brakes but I didn’t have to do that. No, Mrs. j was not in the car. I ain’t that crazy.

I took my kiddo for ski lessons this morning in the Tesla. Came home and was so disgusted by how dirty it was that, despite the rain, I washed both cars. Was not a full detail, just enough to get the crud off and see the original colors of the cars.
I neve thought of testing with a cardboard pothole. HA HA
If you still have the car it’s not too late.
Jmonroe
That’s not too bad bit is it too late to trade it?😂

He can't trade out of the Polestar, unless it's back to the Volvo/Polestar dealer.

I like the Gladiator least of any of them. It is cramped inside, rides like a truck and has a small bed. I think any small pickup like a Tacoma or Ranger would be better and cheaper.
