Having more car trouble I'll post pics of what happened. The LS1 is in the shop so I have been driving the M3 alot. I was south bound on 45 and had a blow out under wot at 95mph. I looked behind me and all I saw was smoke. I pulled off the road and the tire looked like it had been cleanly cut from the side wall. The tire and the rim were trashed. That bastard is going to set me back $900.00 for 1 rear rim. Now Im down to the last car the 04 Lanch. So I hope the LS1 and the M3 will be back soon. Just have had a string of bad luck lately.

Man, we had the same thing happen here at the shop! One of our employees was out cruising the forklift and had a blowout an 65 wot! We replaced the tire and rotated the air in the rest of them.
Talk about bad luck!

Well, I know what caused it atleast. I was an hour late to pick my mom up from the Hobbie. She said what else can happen and she was bitching non stop then the tire let go.

that sucks man. I had my front tire blow out while doing about 70, all of the center tread came off and left the sidewalls to pretty much protect the rim. But then I was halfway between Houston/Austin on the hwy with no tire at 1am...

Ben, I guess you have never heard my mom bitching. Zac, Powell, and others will vouch that it is the worst thing possible. I wanted my fun little car ride to be over as quickly as possible. Go figure that blew up in my face.
