on the interstate, doing 70. Pass. rear tire... surprisingly, the car didn't pull at all. I have some pics of it, but who doesn't know what a blown out tire looks like. My car currently has a new tire (was 'out of service' for less than 12 hours).

I'll post them up when I go home... also, my rim is in perfect shape still, and it took my dad 2 hours to find my car, even though I had my hazards on, and was only 10 minutes from home... he calls me from a town that's 45 minutes away asking where I am... yeah, I know. The girl that was in my car (just a gal pal), called her dad after 1.5 hours, and her dad was there in 12 minutes, lol. Later, my dad said "well I saw a car with hazards on, but I thought it was too close to home..." ....... DOH.

I do, however, the jack isn't exactly something I wanna do... called a PIMA (yes, pain in my ass)... and I was so close to home.

All I know is...after about 15 minutes of sitting there, I woulda jacked the thing up and put the spare on.

no, I called my dad, he brought the truck and the car trailer... and I drove it onto the car trailer, and then had the tire shop take off the rim, and tire, and put a new tire on.
