First popped tire on the freeway!


Last night I was on my way home from work and BAM! Popped tire.  Okay, lets take a few steps back.  I was driving between Springville and Orem, where there is mucho construction of course.  Dang those pot holes.  Well i'm not sure if i exactly hit one or not, because it was dark, but i'm pretty sure i did.  Then POP goes my tire, it was so loud it scared me.  Now because all the lanes are all smushed together there was no lane to pull over too, so i had to turn on my emergency lights and drive 20 mph the mile until the exit.  Once I exited my awesome husband came and changed my tire and put on the spare, which i had no idea how to do.  It was freaking freezing outside, so he let me sit in the car, like the prince he is.  This morning we got a new tire, and now all is well! End of Story!

  2. Boo! I hate that, especially because I always tell myself that it actually never happens, but you are proof that I am wrong. Glad you made it safe.
