  • Stupid Curb!!!

    On Friday night I was going to a movie and clipped a broken peice of drainage culvert that was knocked out in the road. Blew both passenger side tires. Now I have to order 2 new tires cuz the blown ones have holes in the sidewalls. :mad:

    Do any of you think that it would be worth it to try and get the city to pay for it?

        OMG, that's so crazy. I did the exact same thing last Tuesday night but on my drivers side. I tried to drive to Discount Tire and only made it about a mile before the tires started smoking like hell and my whole ride was uncontrollably shaking. I ended having to get towed into the rest of the way. But fortunatly it was covered under the road hazard warranty and I got two brand new ones for free. I ended up buying two so I could have all new ones but I ended up getting all new tires for the price of two.

          Oh ok. I couldn't remember if it was in here that you could do that or not. I guess I will just put them in cardomain.

          I wish my road hazard would cover it. Mine doesn't cover punctures. But my tires aren't that expensive. I'm getting them for $136 w/shipping from tirerack.

          That is why I am wondering if it is worth it to persue the thing with the city. I am not sure how much court costs are and stuff.

              I would look into having the city pay for it since it looks like it fugged up your rims too.

                Uhmn.. I'm sorry dude, but it looks like you can't drive.

                hahaha, that's not even that far in the road, sure, it's there, but come on... you shouldn't be driving in the drainage anyways.

                    The curb wasn't where it is now. I pulled it back in so no one else would hit it. It was out at the edge of the pavement.

                      Camaronat- I'd contact the city and try to get it reimbursed. There are many cities that have programs to cover just such problems.

                      Call up City Hall; you're sure to get "phone menu and transfer hell" and voice mail, but eventually, you'll find somebody who'll gie you the scoop. For the 300 bucks you're out, its not a waste of time.
                      I solemnly swear I am up to no good.
