Default Almost got hit by a runaway tire today...

So i'm sittin at the intersection waitin to turn left and i look over into the oncoming traffic and theres a frickin tires doin bout 50 headin right towards me. Now theres no median or anything seperating traffic so i thought for sure this thing was gonna mess my car up. About 20 feet from my car it hits a rock in the road and changes direction and rolls off into the grass. Turns out a block or two up the road, a full ton pickup snapped its rear axle and the tire shot off and kept on going. This wasnt any old tire, this was a full blown truck tire, holy crap did it scare the S**t outta me.

That would have been some pretty crappy luck if it hit your ride. What blessing number was that one?

As far as comedians go, he sucks. Maybe that explains why I have no idea who he is?
