That's even more brutal when you blow out a shock because of dang pothole. I don't blame you for the move. It's just another reason why I left NY. Regardless no place is pothole free. I just have an extra eye out for them wherever I am whether on stock or aftermarket wheels.

So, by what you are saying, is that the fuel tax we pay for (also known as a road tax correct?) doesn't get used? You said, that i would say taxes. You also said that by the fuel tax is how roads get repaired/built etc. and yet you say that you don't see the service you pay for, to the government (in taxes, through us) and in effect the city's budget which is derived from the state taxes that we pay, then who are you to go after then? the city or the state? or perhaps the federal government? Is it a state or federal tax?

Do you see what I'm saying here? In effect, by your statement, you are going after the city who is actually the wrong person to the accusing who has malled your rims. You should actually be going after the state government, since it is they who make up the budgets for all the cities of the state.

Maybe you don't see the workers building highways, maintaining more used roads, repairing roads and highways whenever their budget allows. By you demanding that money to fix those rims you are in effect exacting your tax money back, of which I'm sure is more than you have paid in taxes anyways, and at the same time as the effect of your demanding of money, not allowing those same pot holes which you have previously had destroy your rims be repaired. Where did you think they were going to get that money to pay for your rims eh?

I'm pretty sure they don't have a budget set aside for damages and losses, and i'm sure they'd take it out of a budget that is related to the cause, write it as a loss and will just wait til next year to fix those pot holes.

I'm sorry if my talk pisses you off, but it's the kind of people who demand to be reimbursed for something along the likes of wear and tear on a vehicle, for a mistake that could have been easily avoided, that irks me. It's just like the people who say they hurt their back in a 5mph rear ended collision, and the people who claim they need to be on disability and they sit at home all day perfectly fine, wasting away social security benefits and the likes.

Chalk it up as a loss, and move on already.
