Hisssssss ...That's the sound of $200 escaping from Deb and Mike Mahoney.
A tire on their new Subaru Impreza went from fat to flat moments after hitting a deep-and-jagged pothole at Brookpark Road and Ridge Road in Cleveland. The crater lurks a few steps from the curb at the northeast corner of the busy intersection, perfectly positioned to catch cars making a right turn toward Interstate 480.
"The tire started hissing so loud we thought the noise came from the car wash nearby," Deb Mahoney emailed. Then the dashboard indicator for a flat tire lit up. That's when they realized they had been hosed.
Let's hope the hole gets filled before someone else is, too.
