That's real alright.
How it managed to happen is completely beyond me....

 

I was just gonna say "yep, that looks real to me..." lousy, man. looks like it maybe scratched one of the spokes of your rim too?

 

My wife, upon arriving home from work one day, said, "I think there is a wire stuck in one of my tires." So I go out figuring it is a nail with the head worn off or something and find this white rod about the diameter of a pencil sticking about 4 feet out of a wheelwell. The end where it pierced the tread was bent over and the rest was sticking straight out and not hitting the car.

After that if she said something was wrong with her car I was quick to look.

 

talk about the kind of peircings that hurt....the wallet that is

 

Maybe it got left in the undertray and slid out through the gap betweeen the fender liner and the underpanel and just happened to get caught in the wheel at speed. Still a long shot but, that is the only thing I can think of.

 

was the car driven at all like that before ya noticed it?

 

So you drove around like that? maybe I read it wrong, but how do you drive around and not hear that hitting the ground. I work at Discount Tire Co. and seen some crazy **** but never that

 

wow, thats amazing

 

No I did not drive on it like that, as soon as I heard the air gushing out I knew somthing was wrong. But it happened late at night, on a road with no lights. I did not even relize the wrench was in the tire untill i was loosening the lug nuts and the lug nut wrench started hitting it. Now I always carry a light wherever I go.

 

Yea flashlights are the shi!t when your on the side of the road or something

 

I agree on this

 

So was it your wrench or just something you picked up on the road?

 

It was my wrench, and there was no real damage to it either, except when the tire guy was beating on it with a hammer to remove it.

 

Have any more pictures that are higher quality? That pic looks VERY photoshopped.

 

Lol in our tire store we actually have a tire sitting on the showroom with a ratchet through it exactly like yours.. It puzzled us all and is always the talk when customers are in the lobby waiting on there vehicle.. We use it for advertisement for our Road Hazard Plan
