Do the yanks have potholes like ours though? I heard jay lost his smart car in one in Leeds recently. Took two of them to lift it out.

...plus...in America the roads are all in straight lines.

One of the well known (and most terrifying to drive over) suspension tests when developing a new car is the American sunken manhole cover - which is 4" (100mm) below the level of the surrounding road.
