I hit a pothole...

[Dan DiBiase]

In NYC I understand the deal is that if your car is damaged by a reported
pothole (i.e., someone has notified NYC DOT of it's existance), you can
get reimbursed for the damage. If unreported, you are SOL. Not sure how
difficult it is to get reimbursed, however.....
