Maybe you've felt that sickening 'clunk' when your front wheel drops into a pothole you couldn't avoid. And felt the knot in your stomach when handed the sickening repair bill. Potholes can eat tires, twist your tie rods and empty your wallet. Monday on The Sound of Ideas, we'll talk about what to do if your car has a pothole attack. And we'll find out what engineering science is doing to design pavement better suited to withstand a harsh northeast Ohio winter.
