Heard Dave Cohen throw out a lil' stat regarding the average amount New Orleans residents spend more per year on repairs than other cities. Said it was around $700/yr.

I've lived in Lakeview for almost 10 years, have never had to repair my car because of the condition of the streets.

I once blacked out and totaled a few cars. Never would have happened if not for those narrow Garden District streets...and you meddling kids.

I don't know, but that cluster bomb of construction at the LA/MS 10/12 split has caused my car to overheat, a rock chip, and wasted 4 hours of my life

I lived in New Orleans for a month in 2013. The damn potholes around Fountainbleau and Napoleon knocked a piece loose on my engine and killed my Taurus. It ended up being junkyarded a couple weeks later.

Just got both of my front air ride struts replaced. $3806.03 in damage from a pothole that cracked them both on Robert E. Lee by the 17th Street canal

I have cracked a rim, would be about $500 if I replaced it, luckily my spare was full size, so I just got a donut spare.
Broke a hose connection on my engine of my truck, it overheated, that sucked. Luckily the little piece was only about $10 though.
so total = $510

I know someone that totaled a 2 year hold Hyundai going through a bad pothole that she didn't see at night.

I cut a corner short and cracked an axel bearing. It was something like $800. Not really the roads fault though.

Typical stuff is tie rods, shocks, and motor mounts
