[urq] I hit a pothole...

[quattro guy]

Jason,

Here in Washington State, there is a department that handles damage claims
from things like potholes.  According to a story on our local news a few
weeks ago about it, they pay out millions each year.  Search your state's
DOT website and you will probably find it.

Here is the Washington State site:

And not just any pothole.  After an instant flat, i got out and looked at
it.  I felt like i was looking into the bottomless pit, or that if i jumped
in i would somehow end up in china.  This thing was seriously deep.  9
inches deep to be exact.  I don't know if it affected my alignment or not,
but i sure as hell felt the bottom of my car grinding on the concrete.

And this was on a main road pulling out of a fast food restaurant, hidden oh
so secretly underneath an innocent little puddle.  I don't know about here,
but do any cities re-imburse damage done to cars by these?  I know they will
pay for windshields if a rock comes off the street and cracks it.

Either way, the local roads dept. will surely be hearing from me at 8 am
sharp tomorrow.

Jason
