ahhh driving down markham rd on the w/end and encountered a HUGE pothole .. i had no choice but to hit it .. OUCH

now .. my one of my 3month old tires are bye bye .. it has a nice little welt on the side wall.

I heard you can have the city assist in the repair or re-purchase .. anyone know how .. im sooo pissed but glad I wasnt drving on the summers.

 

man, these were your winters though, rite?

Anyhow, we have another month of dealing with the potholes so be careful!..

 

Potholes

The streets here are absolutley destroyed!!

 

i've had 2 friends who lost tires to pot holes recently too. one guy's rim actually dented as well....

i keep hearing this buzz circulating about how you send the bill to city, but i'm not sure if there's any truth behind it.

 

ouch that sucks to hear.... Im pritty sure that the city will only take responsability in the case that an accedent occures....... So if i were to guess i would say that the city will tell you to go peeeep yourself... LOL...... no but really i dont think that the city wi cover your tire expence.

 

?? where exactly is that hugh pothole on markham rd... i drove from 14th>16th everyday...

i knew theres a big one on steeles w/b right on the entrance to pacific mall.. my wife lost a hub cap over it.

 

at least the rest of the car is ok! and it wasn't your TE's haha. The suspension is ok right?

thanks guys .. yeah these were my winters .. so not soo bad ... I guess I'll move my summer rim change to this weekend - Dave prays no more snow!

Everything else is fine .. suspension - rims - alignment all ok .. so I guess im lucky.

I heard the city covers it .. but seems like a long battle. May not be worth it .. i dunno. I'll look into it .. and let you guys know if its do-able.

and the pot holes were on Markham rd, around Queen-ish.... going towards the 401.

 

Just took my car in today. Z24 that is. Both front springs/struts toast!
Car leans like crazy now going around a corner.

$78 bucks each for Like new from the wreckers and $140 for install.

 

You can file a claim with the city. They should have a calims department in City Hall.

 

ummmm, this aint the bay area....

 

I've only had my Z for about 4 months. I originally thought I was just noticing pot holes more in the new car but lately everyone I know has been complaining about this.

 

Its ok, it helps to increase your reaction time

 

just pretend you're autox'ng and the potholes are cones.. you'll be fine

 

Ahhh, great minds I tell you.. Great minds

 

I agree until... you get flucked by a PIG

Im driving yesterday (on steeles just west of keele to york) when i all of the sudden see a huge pothole.... obviously i swerve to avoid it (because i have my summers on, with a brand new set of rubbers)..... A PIG (POPO) comes out of no where and pulls me over busts my ***** for an hour. not only did i miss my class he gives me a careless driving ticket.....

 

^^ that really sucks *****.

I would be fighting that one for sure and maybe even calling them to complain.

 

delayed april fool's joke?
