So tonight I got out of class at UCF after bombing a physics test and decided to go for a drive. It was nice and cool and it felt good to open her up on some back roads. While coming around a curve at about 75mph my front left tire decides its the best time to blow. So as I fight to keep the car from going into oncoming traffic I slow down and pull into a fire station. I put on the useless lil doughnut spare just to find that it is too low on air to drive so I asked the firefighters if they had an air compressor. Luck me they did and told me to pull around, but when i went to start the car... the battery was dead. So after some choice words and nice firefighters the car is back home.

I guess thats what I get for going for a relaxing drive.

Yea that does suck, at least you don't have significant damage to your car like I had happen to me because some construction workers are too lazy to do their jobs, I had 2 tires blowout, 2 rims dented, and a trashed axle. The best part is that I wasn't even suppose to drive on this trip

I am glad no real damage occurred because the tire was really hot when i took it off and it was about to come apart. Then I would be looking for a new fender because that would of been pretty messed up.

Right now the plan is to get the tire patched and then try to go on my relaxing drive again tomorrow night.
