Pothole Questions for New York City MINI Owners

Does anyone drive their Mini in NYC? I've been there once with mine, at the edge of my seat riding through the maze of potholes and cracks in the city. How hardy are Mini's?

We've got potholes in Chicago, but I guess you wouldn't be interested in hearing how anyone other than New Yorkers deal with them...

Do a brief search for "Mushrooming" with regard to the strut towers, and you'll soon learn that it's wise to avoid potholes in a Mini.

I drove down Houston St. once back in May and man, that was a horrible, pothole-filled ordeal.
