I traded it. I will miss the Si but it was time for something different.

I picked up a new TLX. Lots of technology to learn.

I drove through a pothole and this happened. And engine mount bolt sheered and caused the engine to shift. Now I'll need a new belt and engine mount bolt. I'll also need to drill out the other half of the bolt BC it is stuck.

That definitely sucks but at least it wasn't hundreds. If heard some bad, bad things about potholes and cars not getting along.

Yeah, one of my friends busted two of his snow tires and one wheel from a pot holt during the winter. Another bent his Mercedes' AMG wheel two days ago. I still need to inspect other components. I'm not sure if the wheels/tires are affected.

I would think if anything else major happened, it would have been noticeable on the flatbed. But I guess you won't really find out until you crawl underneath. Fingers crossed though.

id contact the local municipality because if its big enough to do that sort of damage they should be at least partially financially responsible. I was able to get some money from Blacksburg when their water main construction punctured 2 of my tires

I cracked 2 BMW wheels on smallish pot holes when I had my ZHP. The second one was on the highway and it ended up cutting the tire.

I totally agree they should be at the very least partially responsible if not completely. Especially if it is a public highway and I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't the first person to experience an incident like that.
