So I nailed a pothole...
...on Garden State Parkway South, somewhere around exit 135...

It apparently nicked the rim and sounded something awful -- but here's the kicker - right after it happened, my doorlocks unlocked.

This ever happen to anyone else?

The car "seems" fine... just loud and jarring.

Yes, yes it is - and when the airbags deploy, the windows go down... power and fuel are cut and I think mBrace calls for help too, or cries hysterically or something...

Haha! I'd take a pothole mishap in a w204 over a 130' "mishap" any day.
