My brother was driving when it came off of a trailer that was full of metal.

Silver lining is that it didn't happen to your Sunset Gold 2010...

That sucks, especially since I am moving to Houston next month. Not looking forward to the commute on I-10 to Westheimer and Beltway 8.

Glad your ok!

I had a blow out at 70-80mph going North on I-95 in NC. Real fun stuff, lol. Tire was in 2 separate pieces, almost 3.
