Been a crazy week.
I hit a gigantic pothole and damaged my front driver SSR Professor. First time the pothole won, those SSR's held up well, but when the hole is 3" deep and you hit it at 40mph, game over. Im going after the county, that hole was bs. I can understand less deep holes, but it feels like someone dug that hole haha![Thumb Down](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)

As you know before, someone backed into me when I was getting some food, so the hole in the bumper is there still.... so this is how the car sits
looks so sad.

Then I pulled a lot of the interior. Working on black carpet to go back in, along with Celica seats (should hold me over til I loose some weight and gain some dough to get something better [65lbs total so far!] Darrel @ Proven Power did the welds on the seat. BTW this is how you should install seats, no bs drilling through the floor or something lol.

So thats the saga, the car sits a few 100 pounds lighter with a busted wheel and bumper
. Car should be back together soon, so stay tuned for that... I really just cant wait until I get the wheel repaired.

This has been my best attempt at weight reduction. Though, I'm not having very many gains yet.

its gonna be hard getting money from the city.. they usually have municipal torts that say they are not responsible for damage to vehicles on public roads or something like it. if there was construction youd be able to go after the contruction company since they have insurance for that kind of stuff.
but honestly, it might not be worth the hassle. that bend can be fixed for $100.
