What do you guys think? I'm going to get the car repaired this saturday. take pictures of all the potholes on my drive to work and then send it to the City of Toronto for payment. I know it will never happen but i guess i just want to try it out. I'm also going to make a DVD of the drive and send a copy to City TV. :)
let them do the dirty work for me and run after the city workers.
BTW The car needs all the bushings replaced. I guess driving on the down town streets for the past 6 months did the trick. Davenport is really bad and its not even winter yet.

It may work,
I know a focus friend here in Edmonton that hit a pothole and it destroyed his rim and basically he fought it and keeped on them and keeped on them and sure enough they gave him some $$$ back.
Here in Edmonton there are lots of potholes as well and it pisses me off when I hit one.

See i dont have a problem with one paticular pothole, my problem is general streets that are in a very bad shape. With all the tax we pay we should have something little better then 3rd world counrty roads.

I'll do this with you if you want Mo. My rear bushings are shot again just from potholes and I've needed practically an alignment a year because of the streets.

change of plans, sicne i blew the clutch, the mechanic is charging me only 50 for the instalation of bushings and bars for the front and back. So i guess its not really worth all that trouble anymore.
