crappy roads and oilpans

[Miasma]

The City of Austin paid for a tow and Pan for me earlier this year.

More than likely the city will do nothing and say not their problem. Not to be a dick but anyone with a lowered car should pay extra attention. This is the second 318 I have owned and never have I hit my oil pan on anything.

Yep, I had my last 318 slammed and the oil pan was only about 2.75" off the ground. I only hit it once... and I don't even get how it happened. I took it incrediably slow and at an angle and it still hit! Didn't crack it though! :)

Juts gotta be carefully and change you driving habits.

Take it up with the city.

Does a random chunk of curb in the middle of the road at 6:47 AM this morning count as a shitty road? If so, then yes. This gives me a good reason to put my crank scraper on now, I guess. :(

Where I live, the "city" (town) will tell you to get fucked! :???:

Mass paid me for my M50 pan that dropped 6 quarts on the entrance to the mass pike.

Paid my towing bill as well.

the funny thing about that road is that they closed it off to fix it, i had driven down the road everyday until it was closed..they "work" on it and then the 1st time i drive down it that happens.. thats f'dup. If it wasnt for my friend brian i wouldnt of had an oilpan to put on it. And if it wasnt for my boyfriend Brandon /with the assistance of Brian it wouldnt be on right now either. So thanks to both of you if you read it on here.
