Default I just got owned by a block in the road :mad:

Well, it was a nice perty day *rain drops fallin down song playing in the background* and i was :driving: down I-40 and i noticed a line crew or some white utility truck in the emergency lane before a bridge then i looked on the bridge and saw about 5 of what looked like bricks or something square and hard. 4 were in the right lane (im in the right lane too!!!! ) and one was about a fouth of the way over into the left lane, so i tried to straddle the one in the left lane and dodged it but successfully ran over one of the mysterious blocks that was in the right lane!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: SO! after saying a lot of words that would probally lock this thread i made it about it 100 yards to the end of the bridge and pulled over to check the damage! WELL!! successfully wned: the hell out of my front right tire, at the time it only caved in the rim a little cracking it and scraped up my tire a little and the back right tire only caught the corner apparently because it was only leaking air and was just barely poped...well i put on the ol doughnut on the back righ tire b/c i thought the front right might live for a few more miles but after about 1.5 miles front right blew completely....after gettin it towed to the o so glorious toyota place in hickory (i hate u guys, really) its considered a "crash" even though no body damage is done and im gonna have to end up turning it into my insurance which will cover 90% of it (gonna end up costing like...1000 clams or so for 1 completely new tire + rim and 1 new tire) if im not mistaken (not sure, they're weird) but will try to get some pics of the wheels and stuff and pictures of me crying like a little baby...till then....DAMN YOU UTILITY TRUCK DRIVERS!!! :madfawk:

Punctuation is always a good thing. What do you have against it?

77's been re-paved. It's good as long as you stay in the fast lane.
