Maybe mute out the video though if sending into City or ICBC sounds like you "marked the location" to hit it  Posted via RS Mobile | |

man that hurt. that manhole cover was so unexpected. good thing you went at your own risk to put back the cover.
watch out for sea island way too. they have construction pylons everywhere. i ran over a flat pylon this morning.

Sucks! One of my fears when driving a lowered car.
How much is a new oil pan/labour?
I remember when i hydrolocked my engine in a huge puddle on the off-ramp leading to HWY 1. Long story short, I paid $300 and ICBC covered it (new engine). I had pictures, RCMP statements to back up my claim. Hope it works out for you.

I wonder if OP should raise his car back up to stock. What if ICBC asks him to bring his car in and it's practically lowered to the ground, might try to shaft OP saying his car was too low and a normal car at stock height would have no problem clearing that manhole cover???

Define shafting? If the car is low enough not to pass vi.. then ICBC has every right to deny him.. you are paying for this damage too.. so is everyone paying into the program.
Besides with his car list so publicly on a forum.. once ICBC caught wind of this all hell will break loss on OP.. Quote:

If your car is lowered at all, never mind slammed, the city of richmond will not only tell you to go fuck yourself, they will probably give you a VI as well.

they were walking towards the hole, so I don't know if they were fixing it or if someone else left it there. When I came back 15 minutes later, the cover was closed.

That's actually dangerous to keep that right in the middle of the road.
I would definitely do not want to hit that when I'm riding a motorcycle.

I wouldn't be surprised if, for whatever reason, the cover no longer sits snug and when a car drives over it a certain way, it pops up.

for anyone curious, the city declined my claim because they do not do routine inspections on the road and rely on our reports and calls. there were no prior reports of this and they said nothing could've been done to prevent it if they didn't know about it
oh well, i'm just happy the car is okay and running

i wouldn't be happy with that. we have 3 or more people on here with video/picture evidence showing that it was an ongoing issue that was NOT fixed immedietly. therefore even if someone called in about it 2 weeks prior to your accident, odds are you still would have hit it since their dunce like reaction time.
