"Good" roads — logbook Toyota Mark II 1993

So here I will tell you about the very good roads we have here in Almaty and special thanks to the services serving it. So the day started out great, but towards evening it was a little damaged, actually driving along one of the not-so-small streets of our city, entering the turn at a fairly decent speed, upon exiting it, I heard a loud BACH and a well-palpable blow, well, as a result of which just unforgettable sounds in the Psssssss ... After all that I heard and felt, I stopped and got out of the car, looking at the rear wheel, I was very upset, on rubber, even though it was low-profile and the side edges of it were of great thickness, it became unusable, it turned out just an excellent cut along the entire height rubber, but that's half the trouble, the disk became more like a somewhat oval rather than round, apparently the blow was very good. Well, in continuation, I took out the jack and began the well-known procedure for changing the wheel to the "spare", putting the spare, I went and started looking at what I managed to break the wheel like that. well, there were 2 options, either it was the corner of a square hatch, or it was the edge of the curb, because I was driving at a speed of 80 km, going into a 90-degree turn, I began to enter without slowing down the speed, I entered it from the leftmost lane to the rightmost lane, respectively, I suffered a little, but because I drive along this road every day and every day I pass this turn here everything was done to automation. darker after the car suffered a little. the front tire did not catch on the asphalt very well along the approximate trajectory, I only passed over the hatch, the option with a curb disappeared, not only put the car on all 4 18 wheels, I realized that the blow was very good because the wheel was crooked, but it turned out that the geometry just went wrong and nothing was wrinkled. So for just some kind of turn, I lost the rubber and one disc. Fortunately, everything ended well, I went to the market and bought a couple of wheels, and the disk was pierced and it became like new, well, except for the burnt paint =)) but this is a trifle, in the winter I will completely put all the disks in order. I'll post a photo later.

yes, our roads are shitty, and especially the hatches really either stick out or in the depths,
and yes, the rails! (
