Marion Barry?!  That sounds familiar <he he>, what *does* he spend the
money on?
Or even better:  When you try to claim damage from the roads, does he
say:
"That b*tch set me up!"  I'm terrible, sorry folks...

Seriously, I heard it took a while to get reimbursed.  Encouraging,
tho'.  I also
have another friend that had a wheel replaced on a Sterling from hitting
a pothole.
That check came from the construction company that contracted to repair
the road,
so it might be different.  The OEM wheel was so expensive, he ended up
getting a 
_set_ of aftermarket (cheesy by today's standards) aluminum
"Florenstars", non-chrome.
Same city.

I live there too.  It's the desert, man.  I _don't_ think you want to
live there!  
Sunny, and somewhat smog-free, but windy _all_ the time, and hot in the
summer.  
And that sand!  Blows all over your car, pitting your windshield and
paint.
It blows all right!

I tried to get reimbursed for a stone chipped windshield before, but it
was a big
hassle.  It was easier to sell the truck and move on.

Later!
