    I've heard someone got the country to pay for their rims after it was damaged.. you think I can get them to pay for my damages as well? also, any first hand experience doing this?
    pleasantdale or pleasanthill? The county/city has a form you can fill out, take a picture of it so you don't have the same problem as the guy above.

    If its just before Buford Highway it is CLEARLY marked and they even have one of the machines that flash the warning message, Its a huge dip/uplift depending on which way your coming from, But they have it marked all over the place just before it and everyone slows down to it, so if you took that doing 45-50mph, Thats not the city's fault.

    Yeah that one is a BITCH. Traffic slows down just so you don't obliterate your undercarriage on the car.

    The right lane going towards buford hwy got me...i couldn't get to the left lane and i was barely crawling but that damn 6" step up still caught my splitter (3.5" clearance!) no big deal, it pulls the clips out on the side but then a train came, lights flashing, etc. and i had to pull on across....the second set of tracks grabs the splitter and folds it and the bumper under...niceeee
