tire go boom!

|

Right when I was about to go on the freeway to meet up with Connie and Clarice at Rose Hills, Mom called and said she got a flat and needed me to get my dad and come change on the spare. Then she got a ride from a coworker and went back to work and left the car there.

Apparently it exploded on the freeway. When we got there, it looked like this.




It was caused by a cut in the tire from when my dad ran over some metal blind supports in the garage from when we were moving out. Which means that any day now the front tire on the passenger side might explode too.

The cool part was that we could follow the trail of tire pieces cause there was enough of it everywhere.

So, after we changed on the spare, I spent the rest of the day following the car around, in case anything else went wrong. We went to Costco of Industry to get it replaced, cause we bought it from there. They wouldn't let us because Mom's the Costco member. Then we found out they didn't have that tire in stock. So then we filled up on gas, and added some air to the spare, and gave the car back to Mom so she could take it to Costco of Azusa to get the tire replaced.

Happy ending; tire got replaced under warranty, wheel was completely undamaged, and no on got hurt.
