80 MPH Blow Out So i was trying to catch up to this Benz last night at about 3AM on I-35 because he cut me off and almost clipped my car
I felt a bump - so I thought i hit something and Carter was behind me so he flashed his lights at me so i pulled over.
Turns out - my tire completely separated from my rim and flew off, hitting the fender and cracking it BAD. (not sure if anyone remembers or not but I just had the same fender replaced in january because discount tire put the lifts in the wrong spot whe i had my rims put on)
The tire piece flew off of the car and hit the cement barrier and landed in the far left lane.
I consider myself very lucky as I couldve lost control of the car, flipped and/or died.
Pics are soon to come.
Welp - I'm hopign to get a new fender, new rims, new tires and perhaps a new front clip out of this.
My poor baby.
