Ouch ! That hurt....

My weed eater with the 17" wheels doesn't like pot holes...

More on my badluck the distributor has discontinued this specific model , I picked up the last one they had. I have the feeling this can happen again.

1-0 for Montreal streets

Holy fawk. That must of been one big pothole At what speed did you take it ?

 

[mpcv2000]

I'm cruising in the Middle lane on HWY 20 Eastbound , the traffic flow was ( guessing ) 90KMH and right before entering the tunnel I hit this hole .

This kind of sucks...

I don't know how the other guys with 17" or worste 18" wheel on weed eaters like mine deal with all the holes we have here in town...

I never had this kind of problem with my F150 4X4...

Dah !!

Lucky you didn't loose the entire car in a pot hole, which could happen in Montreal... What a city to drive in, I talk BS about SUV's but in Montreal with all the holes, stupid pedestrians, taxi drivers, flooded streets, etc... You need a real Hummer to survive!

I'd hang onto the old one and try to have it fixed if I were you. It wouldn't hurt to have a spare. I crunched one of my Centerlines a couple of years ago just as badly (hit a curb ) and was able to fix it.

 

[mpcv2000]

I heard about that but mine looks like a total lost does it

 

[Gearbanger 101]

Mine looked a lot like a fortune cookie and they were able to straiten and fix it. I tried to do a 180 on the hot pavement with a set of damn BFG Radial T/A's and it turned into a 270 with my back wheel slamming into the curb. Hit it hard enough that I even bent the axle a little. It couldn't hurt to have it checked out. And if you've ever got a problem like this again, just run the blemished wheel on the back of your car, so you won’t feel the minor imperfections to such an extent. I mean….you’ve already gotten a new wheel, so it couldn’t hurt to keep a spare. Not to mention if you ever sell them, or the car…it’s a nice little bargaining chip to have an extra wheel to work with.

 

[mpcv2000]

Where did you send it ?

Get me the address I'll give it a try.

You never heard about that law that Jean Charest etablish? You can't bring the city in court, and the city isn't responsible for suspension/wheel damage on the quebec/any other province roads..

Thats what I heard.. let me know if it's true..

 

[TheDamned]

That mag looks scrap to me but if you want the name of a company that repairs mags, here it is http://www.pjacques.com/ . By the way I wrote the government a few months back about that stupid increase on the plates for 4.0 and up motors and received that same e-mail from them. No one ever called me back so don't hold your breath .

 

[mpcv2000]

I'm not expecting anything from them to be honest , I'm just trying our system , I just want to see how they handle a concern from a regular taxe payer like me.

The factory tires and wheels from my car have more side walls to absorb impacts so first of all they can easy answer me : Sir you don't have the factory wheels so your case is dismissed , but I just wrote a polite letter and lot of photos.

I want to see who we are dealing with.

I think it's interrsting for all of us .
