Do you all try to avoid them when possible? Or like my girls hit every one of them. Sounds like my wife.

I think it's a woman thing. I don't get it. This is why I hate for her to drive any of my vehicles. I always feel like I need to apologize to them every time she gets out of one of my cars. We were up at the cabin on day and she had to take my 4x4 Ranger to the store. Of course she was gone twice as long as I thought is should take a man to go to the store. And she pulls up and I go out to the truck to help her unload the stuff and I was almost knocked down by the smell of dead skunk. I was like... "Did you run over a skunk?" "Is that what it was?" "Um that's what that smell is..." "Well I couldn't miss it." "What do you mean 'you couldn't miss it.' Did it run out in front of you?" "No it was just laying there dead in the middle of the road." Of course that's when I just threw my hands up. My truck stunk for several days after that.

Potholes and warped rotors. I think they hit potholes because that's what they focus on. I don't look at pot holes and I don't hit them. Regarding warped rotors, I think my wife and daughter think if they approach a stop sign fast enough, that the stop sign might move. Wimmens car braking should be an Olympic sport. See who can stop the shortest the fastest.
About once a month I get the "my steering wheel is shaking when I stop." About once a month they get the, "Yep, your rotors are warped from stopping too quickly. Drive it like it is, because you'd just warp the next ones too."
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Both true here my wife’s minivan has two speeds one of the petals is mashed to the floor at all times. I have threatened to put a dang rev limiter on it. We do a couple of trips a week to children’s on average and her rotors get changed every 30,000 miles. I started buying the drilled and slotted police models when she drove a Tahoe because they weren’t making it 30k. My truck has 168k and still on the first set. It’s a woman thing just have to take it as is because we sure the heck ain’t gonna get them to change.

You cannot avoid them on Chilton County roads, unless you drive in the ditch. I once told my brother (while bitching to him painting new C/Ls) that I cannot see the road at night, and that I know when I've run the road only because the ride gets smoother!

I think women are drawn to potholes like magnets. Unavoidable.

I'm very lucky. My wife drives from the right seat. She tells me when to brake, when to pass, where to turn and how to park. 😆

I'm truly amazed on the rare occasion when my wife avoids hit one.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.
Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
