ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
I just hit a pot hole that was probably bottom less....------- sucks because i was supposed to take it easy on my car til i got the subframe stiffened up. Now it looks like i might make the city of glen cove pay for all the work and maybe the new set of wheels i put a deposit on. Has anyone done this? I know it works if you do it right. I kinda like the rain though-here though i took a bunch of pictures...

hahaha i don't know if i like them....and i'm way too lazy to pull the trunk liner out and put them on :-\

Re:ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
haha... i think they'd look nice on the back, not sure about the front corners though.

And you have to take out the trunk liner to get at them? Damn that must be a bitch. How about changing bulbs. I remember when I upgraded my tails, everyone told me it was hard and took like an hour and a half for each side, ---- took half an hour for both ???

Re:ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
the bulbs actually have a cute little door type thing that plugs into the back of the actual lenses takes like 2 mins to change them but theres 3 bolts on the lenses...two being extremely easy and one is just a complete bitch....

Re:ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
haha... that blows, but the cute door makes it all better :D mine has like a dozen little nuts for each. hurt my back and neck :-\

I should try that, we all know cali has some fucked streets, I have a rim that needs repairing.

Any state will pay for the damages on your car if you hit a othole and ---- up your car. Think about how much taxes you pay, they owe you.

Re:ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
wait the state or the town pays i gotta firgure out who to call? and you can't see the damage because that pothole probably didn't do ----. My subfram was fucked up before hand...i just wanna see if they'll fix it for me because of this.
Will - did you have to show a reciept how did you do it?

Re:ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
One piece of advice. Next time you take pics make sure you put something next to the hole so you can demonstrate how big it is. When I got into an accident I took a pic of the skid mark next to a CD case, so they could figure out based ont he size of the case how long the skid was.

Maybe i should start taking pictures and showing you waht real potholes are :X. Most roads in houston are complete ---- considering the intense dry heat then out of nowhere storms for days shifts the earth a bit :X.

thats a small pothole compared to the ones i come across :-\

yayopwrcrx 12-10-2004 03:05 PM

Re:ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
it wasn't even all that big but it was wide enough to fit a wheel in and deep enough to hear a big ------- bang...

robs99si 12-10-2004 03:14 PM

Re:ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
the bang was the strut bottoming out. this even happens on cars that aren't lowered. fogetaboutit

Yea, that damage is minor. They were doing road repair on a major highway and had it cut away before redoing it. Wifes brother was driving along and WHAM. Hit a manhole cover that was sticking up higher than it was suppose to be. Worst part is that he had just got this car on the road, asin, I had just put a swap in it a week prior.

Manhole shattered the oil pan, broke the transmission housing all to hell and bent the radiator support. So your damage is minor. ;)

Re:ever hit a pothole?? pics
 
i got off the phone with the lady a little while ago...
she said i have to bring in id and a reciept along with the name of the road and fill out a claim then it gets sent out and they will contact me....
i'm just going to have my buddy bump the reciept up a little more to pay for the rims i put a deposit on ;)
i'll figure me and the town are even for all the ------- fines i have paid to them.....by now my town should be made up of gold bricks
