Thank god for old strong cars Damage estimate (P&L) is only 900 bucks so that plus towing and ticket is only about 1100, not too bad

And nope I wasn't fully covered. Insurance should cover the city damage (Trees, grass and fire hydrant).

Not as costly as it could have been.

It really depends on the system that your town/county/city runs for the water. Here the FD comes the tool or you need to have the tool to open the valve on top of the hydrant. Someone I know hooked me up with a job assisting checking the hydrants here. It was really cool. I got a CB, lights, and a badge. Fortunately some idiot kid in a brand new M3 w/ diamond package smashed into a hydrant that was going to be replaced later in the day. Less work for. On the system in that area water was constently in the hydrant and just needed to hook the hose and had water flow. Which means full time running water. If hadn't just gone under to shut the valve off to that one it would have caused major problems. Most beach towns run a full time system since they have a constent source of water(the ocean). My friend hit a LIPA(LongIsland Power Authority) 1900 in body work 3k for pole plus 600 increase on insurance for this year only. It is costing him nearly 5500 for it all. Not he was running on bald BFGoodwrich G-Force Drag Radial T/As which where esentially slicks + 310/325(Hp/Trq[to wheels]) of american power + worked transmission+ 3.73 gears+showing off for girl= crash into pole and shit load of debt. Its not worth driving stupid ever. Even in dry weather stupid crap can get you in trouble.

Well my car puts down about 320 Tq... which makes it extremely eager to lose traction, and slick raods+cold weather = not happy times.

Never heard of a hydrant spraying in real life. Guess they might at beach towns, still never seen it tho.
