anyone ever successfully sued the government (road damage)

[stangstevers]

This morning I hit a hole that was about the same as hitting the curb at 40kmh... Front wheel looks bent, tire has a huge balloon on the side and I'd be surprised I didn't break the front suspension.

You can't always look for holes on the 401, lots of shit drivers on that road you need to look out for too.

[stangstevers]

If the local tire place can't fix the wheel or I have a more serious suspension issue. I will need a flatbed.

Sorry to hear whats happened. I know at least some local govt's have a plan (niece made a claim against Toronto last yr for same kinda deal on two day old car) in place where you can submit a claim for an occurrence like that, no idea on provincial. As for the car itself, always amazed how badly a rim can be damaged and the car itself comes through with flying colors, hope yours plays out the same.

[WTF]

take a pic of the road that damaged your car right now

report it to the municipality

when reporting it ask who you contact for reimbursement....as most municipalities have a program that will cover your repair costs if it can be determined that the city's lack of road maintenance caused your damage

a friend years back got the city of Bowmanville to pay $2000 for a damaged wheel/tire on his Benz

That sure suks , I’ve almost got pot hole avoidance in memory on 404 south to 407 :(

[stangstevers]

So now... will the 275's I have in back fit upfront and will 315's fit in back? lol Might as well upgrade, fuck it. it's just money.

[Armen]

Yes and Yes.

Sorry to hear that.

That Blows!!!

The ten million dollar terrorists in Alberta...

[stangstevers]

He could claim that potholes are islamaphobic and trudeau will not only buy him a wheel but maybe a new GT500 or something with an apology.

I need to switch religions.

[hammerhead]

If its your Mustang Ford has extra coverage for this - I believe - maybe you purchased it

[stangstevers]

Has aftermarket wheels (Foose Mustang edition)... I don't think I'm covered. The funny thing is last year I was really wanting the stock wheels. LOL

[stangstevers]

The good news is the wheel is perfectly fine, not even a scratch. The tire took the blow... The bad news is I fell in love with a new set of wheels while waiting for my turn.

[stangstevers]

Another car got tires trashed this morning a blue Mazda I think... anyway right before the "SKL" factory is where that pot-crater is. I'll try and take a pic, there was a cop nearby so not good timing this morning.

I'm going to stick with the foose wheels, I will save up and get 10" in front and 11" in back so 275's and 325's... F it... go for broke.

[Mustang4]

Glad the car is fine.

[ZR]

Best of news.

[stangstevers]

Shout out to foose wheels, heavy but solid mofo's!

Let me know if you are looking to upgrade as I am looking at selling my complete set off my car and they only have about 4000km on them. 16651

Looks sharp!

But I'm going to stick to 20's either way.

[ZR]

Dramatic difference in ride quality even dropping back to a 19.

One of the reasons to go with 19” is to reduce the risk of what you encountered (and reduce unsprung weight). Food for thought anyhow and I think they look killer on white.

Might even look good on grey, have to see in person to be sure though.

[stangstevers]

Damn, now I want a GT350

[ZR]

Rims are cheaper.
