    Soo I R3Ved my car into a umarked manhole

    So Last Friday night heading back from a friends in Hudson Ma, I ran into some terrible construction, I travel on this road once a week, this road has been a mess for months but in the last week it has really gone to shit. So at 4 a.m. I pull onto the road its dark and misty I start cruising down the street at about 15 mph trying to dodge craters and other unmarked bullshit in the road, I come over the top of a small hill riding the center of the road and drop down a dip followed by smashing the f out of my oil pan on a sewer cap. Never had a chance to see this coming, I cringed and new exactly what happened shut the car off and pulled over to assess the damage. I walk back 50 feet to find pieces of my oil pan and my oilpump in the middle of the street. I call the Police to file a report for a claim and call AAA. Tow truck driver comes out and says has this car been modified? I said yea its lowered 1.5 in (Legal limit is 2 inches max in MA)tow truck driver claims hes going to damage the hell out of the car and that I would have to pay him to tow it the 25 miles as AAA does not cover modified vehicles. So I pushed my car to a legal parking spot for the night and got it towed by AAA and a different tow company the next day no problem. Now assessing the damage on jack stands I find the crossmember is also bent and the exhaust got crushed. I took pics of the area to prove there were no warnings or orange paint or anything.
    After not driving a BMW up to BavAuto Show and Shine for 3 years I get screwed out of going again. And thats my shitty car luck

        I request a flat bed every time I need a tow, the other ones will fuck up your oil pan. (but yours was already broken?)

            good shit you got picks of everything. Shoulda just told that first truck driver it was stock height, he was being an ass hat. I've talked to tow truck drivers about towing my M3 when they have dropped cars off at my house. They say it's low but they have their tricks to get it on undamaged.

                              Yea that cover isn't very high. Your most likely not getting a settlement. Maybe a tad because its unmarked but your car definitely looks lower then 1.5" drop. I have 1.5" and my wheels ate not inside my fenders like that.
