i had a tire blow out.
ok guys u know the deal . on the highway keeping up with traffic then pow ur front tire goes. but i was in the fast lane and ppl were not happy about letting me over . anyways i made it over and changed 4 tires on my own (thx spike) then i went home beat tired . here's a few pics of the aftermath.
on a side note i need a new or newish Michelin x radial 185/65/14 so if u have 1 or maybe 2 or know where i can get 1 post up a link or a phone number .

i found a tire for s super high price of 40 bucks but luckily when i got there to pick it up it was almost identical to my other tires so i left not feeling too bad about it all . and on the bright side i got to Cruz across Mississauga today in the most beautiful day of the year so far. theres always a silver lining.

Dude, at least your local....heres my tale......
4 months ago i decided to take a trip to milwaukee to visit my cuz (12hr ride) That week i been getting my car ready for the trip, oil changed, cleaned, washed, added air to the 17's w/low pros....left sauga at 10:00pm and got to alittle past kitchener and POW...i was like wtffff...pulled over to see the tires on my rims gone...only leaving the side walls (SPIKE YOU SEEN THEM) so here iam 2 hrs aways from where i left and 3 hrs away from my parents in newmarket. my car was slammed to the ground with body kit, so even if i have the tools to take that rims off and put the donut on i don't think i could of used it. the kit would scrape the road. luckily i had CAA (EVERYONE GET IT-80 for a year 4 times road side assist each time up to 200kms) so i requested for a flat bed only and was told the wait was going to be 1hr..fine, i aint going nowhere...1hr passes and im like ok...so i call back and they say "where are you" the driver is looking for you and he can't find you...i say im on the 401 heading to london but i didn't know where i was, no signs no lights pitch dark booney land...so i wait, driver the calls me questioning me if im sure im not heading east. (toronto) i was getting vranky but wno am i to give lip, im the one need the help,...so i wait....and wait...finally he gets there and puts me on, and i ask if from there to newmarket was under 200k and he goes he's not sure its pretty close (over 200k is $3 per km) so whatever we go and i reach newmarket at 4am and i was exactly 189km....FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....then i take a power nap slap on my winters to then realized that one of the tires has a nail (no wonder why that tire always gets low) so then i wait for a near by shop to open at 9am, go there and get them to plug it..came home slapped it on and............................i was in milwaukee at 12am that night......however i got me some *** and drove my cuz 2005 NSX, 95 SUPRA 1200hp and his new LEXUS ISF..........yep!!!!

^^its actually not that bad... when you blow a tire, its not like the tire rips apart and you're rolling on rims...
the tire usually takes a while to deflate, enough for you to make it to the shoulder and change the flat
