I’m back with an Esky this time

That's some crazy damage from a pothole. I know they're bad here, my wife wrecked a wheel one time. I chased the city for a while, then gave up when they got to the whole "how can you prove the pothole caused the damage?" phase. You have a dash cam in that rig?

No, no dash cam but I have a tow bill from that road. I’m gonna get pics in morning and try to piece together what happened.

Good luck. What town is the hole in?

I’d be reaching out to the city / county. Here in Co, they can pay for damages if you play your cards right.

City of Crest Hill right next to Statesville.
The red circle is where she said the pothole was and the yellow circle is the prison maintenance road where she pulled in.


I talked to the city clerks office today and there’s a few issues with getting them to pay out damage for potholes. First, I need a police report which isn’t that hard to do. Second, there would need to be prior complaints or a record of someone informing the city about the road hazard 3 days prior to any claim being filed to allow the city to take corrective actions. Also they typically only pay half the repair due to any damage to a vehicle from a pothole is driver responsibility as much as the road maintenance responsibility. And they said it could take up to 18 months to get paid because it has to go thru a review board once the claim is filed and they would have to do an investigation. Seems like a bunch of ******** hoops to jump thru. Bottom line, she even said it, chances are it’ll get denied in the end because they only pay out about 20% of all the claims that are filed.

I didn’t get a chance to get any pics of the crater that caused the damage today because last night my dog got sprayed by a skunk so I was up wiping her down with hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, dish soap and warm water solution and then had to give her a bath. That was fun. I didn’t go to sleep until 5am this morning and crawled out of bed at 7:45 for Julianna’s e-learning shit.
I took the busted rims off the vehicle and inspected the suspension and frame. Everything looked ok. So I put the 02 Esky on jack stands and pulled the wheels and tires and put them on hers. I drove it to work today and everything seems fine but I’ll get a better look this weekend when I get under it and change the oil. I’m tired and frustrated as hell but at least her vehicle is back rolling again.
I guess these rims are discontinued. They ended the run on these this year and I guess they have been in production for 15 years. So nobody that even has them wants to sell only 2. They want to sell the full set. But if I gotta buy a full set I’m gonna get something else that is at the beginning of a run so I know they’ll be available for a while. I’ve been getting kicked while I’m down over and over again here lately. I also need to get 2 tires so this is gonna be another $2k after all is said and done.


In the meantime I’ll let her try her hand at ******* up these 22s also.

Ouch! Main reason I've stuck with 20"s but still what brand are those?

Is there a BMX course close by? Looks like she got it airborne lol.

No shit. I’m still shocked it did that much damage!

 

[Snowbound]

Ok here’s the crater that caused the damage. I took a video right as I got on that road until where she pulled off on maintenance entrance.



As you can see, it’s not in the roadway. It’s on the shoulder so it’ll be hard to blame the city for this one.
