call me stupid!

So, I'm about to hop in my ride to go to work, and I notice that one of my front tires is low on air (I do carry an air pump with me cause I have had a small leak in one of my other tires for awhile and am too lazy to fix it... lol).. but I decided to carry on (stupid)... I'm on a bridge when I noticed that the tire must be flat... I cant stop on the bridge cause its a $1000 fine (during rush hours) so I had to drive atleast 1.5 km on it before I could pull over...
my front body kit has come loose (rough ride I guess)... I couldnt get my wheel lock off (long storey) so I had to call road side.. hour later they get there... now I cant get my spare tire out, because my damb box (which was costum designed to avoid such sanarios) was making it very hard to get the tire out (spare)... had to pull the spare lid and cover complealtly out to get the spare....
never seen a tire so destroyed before... killed that thing... but man... what a headache... thank god I had some BC chron with me to keep me cool... lol!

Damn $1000 huh? Brutal! Very good thing you had that greenery to keep your head cool

I'm very close to running without a spare, since the jack which comes with the car is ridiculously dangerous. Plus running 19's and one 17 no es bueno.

What do those of you who run with out it do for back up?

Oh yeah, your car looks sick--stupid! Couldn't resisit haha

AAA

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting AAA. Anyone know about how much it is per month?

It's not much per month depending on which membership type you get.

I would assume that the no stopping would apply to cars that are in working condition. Driving with a flat is probably more dangerous than stopping on the bridge. If the bridge was that long it must have been a good size and had room for you to pull over. Seems like you were stupid.

That sucks. I had a tire come apart on me last weekend while driving. Not so fun! It was 100 degrees and I was on my way to a huge bbq with some friends. So I was a sweaty mess when I finally got there. Oh and the car rolled off the damn shitty jack as well!!!! :(
