Pothole from hell.... - Toyota Yaris Forums

NEexpat · 03-11-2015, 11:33 AM

With the big "melt" taking place this week here in New England, I reminded my niece to try to avoid pot holes disguised as puddles, and whenever possible pay closer attention to the car in front of you as they encounter puddles.

A year ago she went through, scratch that, went into one, broke a wheel and a motor mount on her Chevy Prizm, (Corolla).

I've yet to meet anyone who claims to have put in a reimbursement for damages against the city and received a nickel.

Yep as the saying goes you can't fight city hall. Where I live the city and county loves doing road construction by taking their asphalt eaters and chewing up miles of road and instead of gradually lifting up the cutter to leave a nice slope they stop abruptly and leave a three to four inch lip between the original blacktop and what they just grated up. Then to top it all off they will stop construction and leave the road in this condition for weeks or months on end. I swear they are in cahoots with tire and alignment shops in town. Another nicety is the ate up road always has tons of loose gravel and small rocks to fly up and bust your windshield or dent your car. Meh!!!!

For some reason, made me think of the New York State Thruway. The tolls were supposed to stop once the road was paid for. Did the tolls stop after the road was paid for? Of course not

That all depends on what your definition of "paid" is. That's sort of like what your definition of is...is I guess.
