Cars & Transportation - 16 June 2006

I was driving regulary with my friends and family in the car in the downtown area about to drop off one of my cousins after graduation. As I pass through the intersection, I saw in front of me two inches drop from the ground because of street construction. The top part of the pavement was shaved. I tried to slow down to transition but unfortunately there were a few sewer lids that stick up about 4 inches above ground level. Boom! and my car hit one of those sewer lids and motor oil was flying out of my car. Luckily nobody was hurt. After that, as I was standing waiting for the tow truck I also notice a few cars hitting those sewage lids. I am pretty pissed because they didn't put any warning signs up or what so ever.

I know the cost of repairs won't be little in this accident. I want to know how I can complain to the city or maybe get them to fix my car. Thanks a lot.

I have a Suzuki Sidekick that has "fried" the head. Would like to know what other car engines would fit. I know that the Geo Tracker engine is the same, but what about other cars? Currently has 1.6 liter engine,- but anything that will bolt up and work without major modifications would be fine (even smaller engine)! This is a standard transmission, 4wd model. Don't know if the automatic engine would work by changing flywheel (like most american engines) or not. Last guy took head off and lost it, so don't know if engine block is still good or not. Otherwise maybe a good head would do the job. Got used engine quotes on internet, but the engines would cost twice as much as the car is worth!! I am an old mechanic (ret) with 50+ years foreign and domestic exp. So can probably do minor changes without much trouble! I will then try to pick up a wreck that has right engine, and fix mine!!
