Yes.

But still, it sucks.

Now I just have to find a ride to the pothole and take some pics.

If you don't find one, I'll be at Abacus on Friday and can swing by to give you a ride assuming there wouldn't be tooooo much gas wastage (6mpg city 12mpg highway, woot)

I dont think the city is going to pay for youre mistake. But its worth a shot.

There most likely just going to look at youre car and tell you that its lowered and blah fuckin blah, but goodluck! Shit sux for sure!

Many cities have a rule that if the pothole had been previously reported to them, and they knew about it for X number of days and didn't repair it, they'll pay for the damage.

I'm hoping that doesn't happen.

But it doesn't hurt too bad to try.

I just messed up both wheels on my bike. I'm in the process of writing the company working on 64 in hopes to get my wheels fixed/replaced and the hole filled. This is bullshit.

I don't know what to do now.

I don't think that kind of damage can be repaired.

I wonder what a subframe from a junkyard would cost?

I don't know. The subframe isn't bolted in. It's part of the unibody.

And even if it is repairable, it's not something I can do- or afford to have a shop do.

I doubt my insurance will cover this.
