yea im curious too, is it gonna be out of his pocket or the city somehow be blamed for this obvious design flaw ?
cuz that really is the stupidest curb i have ever seen in this fckin city

Kelvin,

You might as well at least try to plead your case to city hall. You might not be the only one.
When I lived in delta, I lived down a street that didn't have sidewalks. Where the road and grass/gravel met, a pot hole appeared after one winter. When I was driving by, a kid ran out of his drive way onto the street so I swerved to the right. My whole wheel went into the hole and I cracked part of the bumper. I went to city hall and when they saw my car, they said since it's lowered more than an average car I'm not covered and they won't pay for the damages. A week after that, they paved the hole.

@hchang... Good one!! *thumbsup*

Thanks for all the kind words and support, appreciating every bit of advice given. I figure I will let city hall know of this idiotic design, but I will not pursue compensation from the city. I fully understand had I looked more closely at the intersection(instead of the motorbike coming by) and if I didnt have such a bitch of a car the damage probably wouldn't of been as severe.

But like I said, I will let city hall know of this situation, hoping to prevent anyone else from repeating the same mishap as me.

Holy fuck that wheel :( And your lip looks like its touching the cement on the flatbed!

Hope you're fine though, that must be stressful.

yelnats8 08-16-2011 05:31 PM

I feel ya man, i've hit that curb once before, thankfully i was driving a beater at the time.

greendb7 08-16-2011 05:48 PM

Fuck man I've done that before but not that bad and not with my current wheels... sorry to hear.
Hope a speedy and quality fix and we can see your ride running on all 4 on Sunday!

optiblue 08-16-2011 06:01 PM

ouch! and wow, what a retarded curb! it serves no purpose!

TheMatty 08-16-2011 06:40 PM

DiiCii 08-16-2011 07:52 PM

aw fuck man that's brutal:( why are everyones cars breaking right before the meet:cry: really hope you get it fixed soon though! can't you go with a spare or a steelie?

k3lv 08-16-2011 08:09 PM

I got a BBK in the front so no spare or steelie, I think it might be crazy dangerous and low too if I used anything but a 17.

DiiCii 08-16-2011 08:50 PM

ohh :( wanna borrow a wheel from my car? i'll fb msg you!

k3lv 08-16-2011 09:13 PM

The spare on a 6 speed tl is a 17 to clear the brembos. I think it is the same bolt pattern too. 5x 114.3, maybe a different offset though.

Could you have moved a wheel from the back and put your spare on the rear?

Jobo 08-16-2011 10:04 PM

Shit. I was there today too and was gonna pull over infront of the place. Curb scared the shit out of me, but I luckily dodged it.

Best of luck repairing your car. Remember seeing this at the spring meet and i was :fulloffuck: over how sick it looked

k3lv 08-16-2011 10:50 PM

Thanks for the spare ideas. I'll look into that but I have a plan for now. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be notified if the wheel is repairable or not. It looks so unhealthy for the car to sit gangster sideways lol

TheMatty 08-16-2011 10:58 PM

u can use my pink wheels

Hey Kev thanks. The wheels are now awaiting pickup from Nubrite

Haha I asked someone if they knew who you were today but they didn't know. I saw your name on the am kitchen duties or something. I'll be there tomorrow for like a half day before going back to 007. That was a quick repair though...

^ Who did you ask? The name on the board for kitchen duties was another person, same name. Its not repaired yet, I'm just riding my bike now.

hc529 08-17-2011 04:46 PM

shiiittt k3lv, that sucks! hope its repairable! dont be too stressed out!

k3lv 08-17-2011 04:51 PM

So apparently it was sent to Panthers instead, they've been working on it for a few hours and it doesnt look good, they decided to give it a deadline till tomorrow noon and I'll know my damage, if it ain't repairable then... time for another set, my 6th...

FRStan 08-17-2011 09:20 PM

If u need the site we talked about for the XXR's at the meet, msg me!
