Pothole on I-70 causes cracked wheel
Running to St.Louis 2 weeks ago to get a transmission of 04diesel. Just west of Indy, about 2 miles west of interchange with I-465, I hit this awful pot hole in a center lane, driving wife's beautiful 2003 Jaguar 2.5 X type AWD. Probably was up to speed say 75, maybe 80 and hit this godawful hole in the road. Stopped up the road at the rest area just to check that all the wheels were on. Didn't see any damage at the time. We don't use the car very much but Pastor Steve wanted to use it for a trip to Louisville Saturday. I was bringing it to his home when I noticed I had a flat right rear. Darn but it is hard to see in the garage that you have a flat on those idiot low pro tires. Well, I aired it up and it held for his trip but was down to 20 psi when he brought it back. So I took it to the tire shop this AM. Yup, the right rear is cracked and the right front is bent. Didn't Obama release some shovel ready money to cover those incidents? I thought I heard that, but maybe I was dreamin. I think he was supposed to, but that was the day is telepromter wasn't working. Will my "comp" cover it? The city of Indianapolis will pay your claim if you push hard enough and are willing to wait them out. I haven't heard of the Interstate paying for damage. Has anyone heard that they will.
