WTF. MY CAR.

Dude. I just drove like, my last couple of miles home on a blown out tire (the thing is completely SHREDDED now- it's embarrassing). That was the scariest experience of my life; I had no idea wtf was going on. @_@; I thought I was going to die; thank God it happened just after I had gotten over the toll bridge (A picture of it here: http://www.texasfreeway.com/houston/photos/bw8/images_mainlanes/bw8_toll_bridge_looking_s_22-may-2001_lres.jpg It goes right over the Houston Ship Channel- I live in the neighborhood pretty much right next to it)...

I hope my mother doesn't come home and yell at me. >< I called Dad and he seemed okay with it, but mom flipped out on me. +_+ Dude, the wreck from last year was maybe my fault, but this was NOT.

I'd take a picture of the remnants of my tire, but I'm too ashamed. ^_^;;;

[ EDIT: Never mind, I got over it, lol.





It's like a grass skirt made out of tire. LOL. ]

LOL, I did have a spare, but it happened on the freeway, and when I pulled over when I first felt something wrong, I didn't know it was the tire. I was close to home, only about a fourth of a mile from being able to get off the freeway, and my phone's battery was low, so I was like "I'm just going to try to get home." It was the scariest thing ever. ^^;; I had to hold my wheel almost turned completely to the left to drive STRAIGHT, the car was jarring HORRIBLY (I had my music turned up really loud and couldn't hear it x.X), and I could smell it burning... +_+ I was like, driving with tears in my eyes.

... And it had to happen like two weeks after our driving versus walking argument, lol, buuuh, priiide, ouch. XD;;

If you see this, tell everyone I said hi! Show them my tire; let em get a laugh in, lol. XD

BTW, no fucking duh it's bad to drive on a rim; that's why there is a tire between it and the ground. XD

WHOA, I've never seen a tire do that before!

I'm glad you're okay!
