I got my car back, it's in running order, so im content for the time being, this is what i've done so far though.
i went to city hall and i got a claim filed. i included pictures of the incident, damages, etc. i also included an estimate from Longo Lexus for the oil pan and head pipe with the catalytic converter. Also, a bill for a oil pan replacement done by T&N Auto Repair ($440) with a quote for the exhaust piece. i wrote up a summary of the incident, made sure to include my passenger as a witness.
From what the city clerk told me, it'll take a while for the claims adjusters to get back to me (30days approx) She also told me two other cars have been reported to her as of 10am monday morning.
i did not mention that i was lowered in any way shape or form, the car is practically stock in my mind =P.
if this doesnt go through, definitely i will be taking them to court.
Please, if you're in the area, drive that road of with caution, or avoid it completely.
Coming from the 10fwy i now take the Kellogg exit and get home by taking Temple. To reach the Grand/Valley intersection i either take residential streets or take Lemon down to La Puente or Valley. It's a hassle, but i really dont want another mishaps on that road while it's still gutted up for construction.
