This if they're on the side of the road and not part of the pavement. Some of those holes here are deep as hell and you don't want to hit them at 45 mph.

There was an AWESOME vid of a SUV soaking another car because the car wouldnt let the SUV merge.

If I could upload vids here I'd post it. Awesome, hilarious vid.

Pretty sure I've seen that. Dude gets pissed and pulls over on the side of the road next to a huge puddle and waits for the car to get next to him and floors it.

Yep!

The car had its windows down, too, apparently.

Yeah, the guy deserved it though. I hate *******s like that, I can give some pretty intimidating looks so I just give people that look and they usually get the hell out of my way.

Usually nails, sharp objects, culverts, dead bodies, etc.

I hit a pretty large puddle on my way back home which removed 90% of the mud that was left on my jeep. The people behind me wernt too happy as it soaked them too.

I also marked my parking spot at my campus with lotsa mud!

I avoid puddles on the side if the road. They suck my tires in, and make it hard to keep the Jeep under control.

Heading down a two lane country road, i hit a big puddle going about 45 (couldn't slow down), and almost ran head on into a car passing on the other side of the road. I had to change my pants after that...

Where I live we have a peninsula and I love to go there after a storm when the sand is wet and huge puddles are there in the parking lots,
