Blew a tire

First time in my 13 years of driving…I had a blowout. Last night on the way home from Quaker Steak N Lube restaurant while driving about 55mph, my drivers side rear tire blew. Immediately I pulled over and threw on the full size spare.

Windows were rolled down cruizin along when we both heard a ‘pop’ (in some parts of the US, it would be called soda). Kathy immediately asked me “was that your tire?”. I replied “Yep”.

2 days later, I made it to Pepboys for replacement. The mechanic comes out and says “I know why your tire blew”. He then reaches in his pocket and reveals a pair of 7″vice-grips.
