Also, I am detected a wierd smell coming from under the hood. Kinda smells like somthing was burned (other than rubber). Any ideas?

Overall, other then the tire, what else could have been damaged? I did put the clutch in as this was happening, so I think that is OK. The car is still very under warranty (5700 miles) so when I go to the dealer I would like to tell him what to check.

Thanks everyone for your input.

P.S. I know I'm a dumb a** so you don't need to tell me.

Tires and other 'comsumables' wont be covered under warranty unless it's a manufacturing fault but flat spotting a tire isn't one. Not surpirsed you did flat spot a tire doing that though! I spose it put the fear of god in you! New Shorts? did you put the clutch in all the way, did you try then to pull of leaving it in 5th? have you checked your motor for any spills that may have occured when you took you little 'detour'? It may be a fluid burning, have you seen any smoke? Unless of cousre you were doing 100 in 3rd ( I hope not) and then you could have mooshed you motor! BTW i wouldn't tell you dealer how you did it!
