gotta love the roads in illinois...

on my way to my hockey game tonite getting off the highway...light turns yellow, i drop to neutral and being to slow down and as i get to the bottom of ramp i get airborn and immediately hear my right rear tire blow out. filed a claim with the state police so hopefully i can get the state or atleast my county to pay for the damage. bent rim, blown tire, and minor rear axle damage. im just so pissed at myself..idk how i possibly missed that. not to mention i spent about 2 n a half hours today detailing it

that does suck, you should be able to get them to pay for that. but man just getting a replacement tire after a flat can be a pain in the ***
