BEWARE OF POTHOLES!!!!!

I hit one on the LIE Sunday night coming home from dinner with friends - my passenger-side tire in the front hit it, causing my driver-side side airbag to go off - and me to nearly have a heartattack!...

what a mess - now i need a new tire, new rim, new airbag, new sensor/comp thing for my side air bags, new seat cover (that where it comes out of apparently!) and all this other stuff.

it sux! i have never had to call my insurance company for anythign before but now they are fighting it out with my dealer and i have no car (well, except for dh's which we are sharing!) for at least the week while they repair it! and there was nothing i could do...the hole didn't even look that big but apparently i hit at exactly the perfect angle...and you could see on the road after that i have not been the only one....its incredulby deep and there are skid marks all over around there!

so be careful - potholes can apparently be very dangerous and/or a pain in the butt!

So sorry you have to go through all of this but hopefully this will make other drivers aware. Thank you

If you call 311 and report the pothole, then ask them to send you the paperwork to file a claim against the city, the city may pay for the damage.
