Default Why i hate nyc roads

NYC streets are crappy, uneven and ridiculously bumpy. I guess lately the city decided to finally fix these roads by repaving several streets, only problem is, when they do, often times manhole covers are raise before the construction is done.

Driving on the FDR yesterday i really hit one hard. Got home a tow truck and found out i was the 6th victim for the day from the same road and it was only 3pm! Now i need a new lower oil pan... i searched purems they dont seem to have one and ecstuning only sells the entire oil pan. Anyone recommendations? thnx
Enjoy the pics

You can try http://www.autohausaz.com. Shipiing is free over $50 but it will take about a week to receive your parts.

Where on the FDR did this happen?

The far right lane heading toward downtown Manhattan between east 116th st and east 107th st. My trail of oil might still be there...

if there was construction where you hit that manhole you might be able to get your car fixed!

Here's what happened to me:I used to have 01 S4 - driving on LIE heading to midtown tunnel. .hit a pothole the size of texas and got a bubble on my tire, dented the rim and alignment was off - after 20 phone calls I talked to the NYC DOT person responsible for LIE. He then provided the construction company contact. .who then gave me their insurance company, Zurich. I provided them the location, dealer estimate. ..and in a few weeks I received a check for around $1200.

Good luck!
