Doing chores (laundry, dusting, cleaning, etc). That's about it.

So there I am, 0400 on the Atlantic City Expressway at milemarker 1.4. About 0.5 miles before that my car suddenly started making funny noises and road handling got very sluggish. I pull over to the shoulder of the highway and see



I don't know what caused for this to happen, the tire was in good order before my trip to Atlantic City even started. I was actually more worried about the other side...

Anyway, I call USAA Roadside Assitance, and they send a tow truck driver. I don't have a jack in my car, so he lifts the driver's side so I can removed the blown wheel and put the front wheel in its place with the spare taking the front spot. He tells me about his daughter's MR2 and how much he loves driving it...yay, I want to get the fuck out of here. So we say goodbye and I finally leave, while driving rather conservatively the entire way home. More pics:

Well they are BFG g-force t/a's...there was still tread left, but the camera phone can't capture the depth too well.
