Default MY TC FALLS INTO A SINKHOLE (pics)

Well I was driving along on a local street and out of no where my car drops down and comes to a complete stop. I get out to look, my car went into a 3 foot deep and 8 foot wide sinkhole in the middle of the road. Well i smashed my front end up pretty well towards the bottom. I also bent my front rims, I also believe I have some suspension damage as far as my axles, possibly more. I am going to try to goto the Boro tomorrow to see what they have to say due to the fact it was in the middle of the street on a hill and it was covered in snow which should have been plowed. I took some pics with my ____ty camera phone but eh whatever. Time for a bodykit I suppose


This is what the hole looked like after 45 mins and than finally got out


The car sitting in this sinkhole,


Yeah, sinkhole again

Sorry for your luck! Hope the city/state fixes it for you, its a long road to hoe on that one. Seems to me like every ten minutes another tc dies.

Well i just went for a ride to check everything out, my car is messed up pretty good, after 35mph the car shakes violently, like it could possibly loose control, like ive never felt a car shake like this. Called the insurance company and I have to take it to a collision place tomorrow to have it looked at. Also I am gonna take a ride and talk to the boro about it

That sucks something terrible. Hopefully they will take care of it for you but I doubt it. Good luck with it.

Dang, when you said sinkhole, I though you meant something like this:



Still a bummer, though you don't have to get a crane to get your car out!
