Gah. I was driving this evening when I saw a metal plate in the road. No big deal, the state put it there, I'm sure that they knew what they were doing. Wrong. They obviously forgot the extend the plate the extra 4 feet to cover a 3-4+ deep pot hole. Well, being at night and the pot hole filled with water, I didn't see it. So I hit it doing about 40. Now, I'm like WTF WAS THAT. I slow down. I hear hissing. I figure the tire was shreadded, big deal, I have an extra set of rims at home and I'll just buy a new tire. Wrong. My $500 c6 17x8.5 rim with Kumho Estas is BENT. So I pull over and join the 3 other cars on the side of the road calling friends and changing out tires. :mad: :mad: [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]

Anyways, some other dude in a Jeep nails the pot hole and comes to a halt in front of my car. He loses it and calls the county department flipping his ****. So, 10 minutes later a police officer comes out and marks the pot hole. Thanks. However, this was probably the coolest officer I have ever met. He was ****ing with us with his PA and generally chatting us up while he wrote the reports. He even pulled this, Uhm, I have a warrent for you arrest joke on my friend and got her good. [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] 20 minutes after he arrived a road crew showed up and fixed the hole. I was quite impressed. I never thought that the county would do jack ****.

So anyways, that was my night. Kinda sucked but met a pretty cool cop.

send it in the be fixed. it will cost less than 100bucks and if you want, have the crome redone for alittle less than 200. these prices are from a local wheel repair place so they shouldnt be to far off

[BLLDOGG]

also, call the city and demand them to pay the bill

I don't want to get a bent rim fixed or have my chrome redone. It's never the same. I want a completly new one. And if they can't do that, I want to be reimbursed for the set.

Yeah, I've got a case number and everything. There is no way that the city isn't paying for this.
