[ninjascott]

What a day broke 2 of my wheels on my car aaaggghhh!!! so I called the poice to see if I need to file a report for insurance they to me to call this other number that person said the city would investigate it and possibly reinburse me. Anyone have any expeience withthis situation? Heres the kicker the wheels I have are discontinued (neeper flys) now what? Is there a place the fixes them?

[chevysoldier]

Where the hell was this crater at? Put 2 of the same wheel on the left side, and 2 of the same wheel on the right side. Problem solved.

Call Clifford Automotive (one of the sponsors on here). They fix wheels.

Monster potholes are everywhere right now.

Talk to Gump. This same thing happened to us years ago when hauling his dads boat through Nelsonville.

I hit a pothole with the trailer that was so deep it caused the suspension to explode and dumped the boat out on the road. Nelsonville bought them a new trailer.

Good to know. I might have to call them, as 2 of my wheels (stock dodge aluminum) are bent a little. Wonder how much I'd be looking at, or if I should just hit the junnkyards?

holy crap !!!....just how big was this hole ??

You can call the city...like a pothole line and they will pay to fix your stuff if that hole is that deep. Had this done before.

Seems I've read a hundred times that if the city knew about the pothole (by someone calling it in) and you hit it before they fix it, then they will reimburse you.

EDIT: Here's a link to the City of C-Bus pothole page. Can e-mail them or call it in. Could find nothing about reimbursement.

That is correct. It has to have been reported by someone else. They call you back after you open the case and ask when/where. I hit the one that was on 270 last year by Easton that fucked all kinds of people.

[obesityrules]

in the past 2 years i have had 2 flats due to the pot holes on 71 south inside 270. after the last one i said f it and put the stock 14 inch steel rims on.

Varies from city to city but most require that the pothole was reported to the city by someone...the city didn't fix it...then you hit it.....so you hit a pothole they knew about but didn't fix. Can't hurt to report it and see what they say.

That sucks about the wheels. Good luck with the reimbursement.

270 at 670 has a bunch that they keep patching, only the patching isn't staying to now when a semi drives over the "patch" it just kicks up huge chunks of asphalt.
