Prove me wrong

Its a wonder my car makes it to the end of the road without crumbling into a mess, just like every other car on the road. Its pot hole crazy.

I think there has been a massive conspiracy to make us keep buying suspension parts for our cars and problems with tires and brakes.

Someone is making a tidy penny out of this.

Totally agree. Just had to sort my front out due to the tbh car swallowing potholes near us...back is going too...I'm lucky if it gets over 20 mph too..

I've been driving for 35 years and never had to buy suspension parts. From brand new cars to bangers. So it must be your driving 🤔

You've never needed new bushes?

I like a new bush. Love paying out for them.

If you have an SUV, you are part of the problem.
If you drive a few hundred yards say to/from school instead of getting up a bit earlier and walking, you are part of the problem.
If you don't vote or supported the Cameron government that cut more of local authority budgets than almost anything else, you are partly to blame.
