Last night as usual I went out for my drive..it was raining a little. I saw a manhole & went to avoid it..now thats my routing road & I knew that there was a manhole there. So I as usual went a little to the right so that I miss the manhole but what I didn't know was that there was also a big pothole which had formed due to rains. I'd been home since the last two days & bam..right wheel did avoid the pothole but left wheel went down in the pothole. The car stopped there. I thought s*** my bumper must have gone. Also at the same time steering started to vibrate. Reached home & checked the wheels & springs. The springs looked like they had got a push upwards..even my bonnet had come up a little indicating that the springs might be pushed upwards. Opened the hood to find that the Hi or high beam under the engine got bent I was under the impression that it'd cost around 10k at the most. Took it to Linkway Honda in the morning & he said that the damage was extensive & repairs could be upwards of 25k. Now I sincerely hope that Insurance covers this or else its a big hole in the wallet. The SA said he'd give the estimate by evening..so just waiting for that..
