Watch out for the oil pan!
Driving along Bloor Street in Oshawa, through some road construction. I didn't want to swerve into the oncoming traffic lane, and figured I was going slow enough, surely my stock Micra should be able to navigate through the potholes. The drop was more severe than I estimated, and, as I always suspected, the oil pan took the hit hard.
I could only imagine how much more severe this damage would have been had I lowered my Micra! In any case, I'm going to see if Durham Region is liable for replacing my oil pan; this should not have happened, especially when I'm paying over $5k a year in property taxes in this city.
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
