another damn flat tire

just great i had a flat tire all day and didn't know.

i leave my friends house at like 7:00 and i notice my car seems wierd... like, pulling to the right. so whatever it wasn't very noticeable most of the time. i drive to the mall 110 mph on the highway and i had no idea why my car felt loose, then i leave the mall and leave thru the wrong exit, and i bottom out like, more than ever before... sounded like i smashed my car. very loud and scary. so i drive to my friends house to meet some other friends who were going to be there. and i get out and inspect for damage from the bottoming out.. i get along to the right front and i see my tire is flat! so i drive all the way home and park it to complain to you guys how my life sucks and my tire is flat again. FUCK

110 mph and your tire was low?

You're lucky to be alive.

Be thankful.

dude, never drive anywhere on a flat. You will ruin your rims, the tire, and your chances of survival. and doing 110mph, I hope you were in Germany!!!

flats suck. I know. My rims caused problems with my Douglas tires, and I had like 3 flats and 5 lows in two months. So I ditched the damn things and got some LeMans. They are great, especially when Its wet. I've never lost traction in them, even going around a corner that leans the wrong way with a stream going across it and me going 40mph!

anyway, sorry it happened, but if it ever happens again, as soon as you find out don't go anywhere!!!

well, if i had known it was flat, i would not have pushed 110. i found out later that it was flat. and if you saw my car... towing and jacking it up are physical impossibilities
