So while driving down the interstate and showing my friend just what my car could do, i begin to slow down a little to merge with traffic when my driver side front tire has a blow out. Major blow out somewhere between 100 and 110 mph.

Amazingly I never lost control of the car and brought it to a stop without any damage (except the tire). I have to tell you, i alway new the handling on these are were great, but after this accident, I now realize just how wonderfully built they really are.

The fun part was putting the spare on and having it blow out about 1 mile down the road. Now i have to wait until this weekend when i get paid to buy new tires. If i can convince my roommate to let me borrow his digital camera, i'll take pics of the tire and the spare. Fun stuff, really fun.

spare with no air is worse than no spare at all.

My spare is flat too, but I went to Sears and bought a $20 air compressor that powers off of the cigarette lighter. Good investment. A can of Fix a Flat comes in handy too. Wasn't like the time in my old car I hit a huge pot hole and blew out both passenger tires though... That was interesting.
