i was going to call the police when it happened, but my tag is 2 months expired and I still have my Florida license, so I did not want to risk it.

I guess it depends on where you live. Anchorage basically told me it was my fault I was driving during a rainy night, and into a puddle which happened to contain a huge pothole.

Nice car! Be careful with the wheels that they come with too! Don't expect them to be much stronger than the ones you just busted...

that is what my mom/aunt thinks happened. actually there was list of problems that needed to be fixed if i was going to continue driving the cl, so i figured if i dumped the money in it, it would be a waist as i planned on getting a new car in the next year anyway.
