cuz by the time i could even react i was already in the ditch. ive saved one(right rear)on my old f-100 at 65 before on a crowded freeway. there just alot of other variables besides speed. trust me though, i sat there asking that same ? to myself all night.

How do you lose control at 45mph? I had a tire blow out at 70 and just slowed down, pulled over.

If you really rolled 5 times (which doesn't seem likely unless you fibbed on your speed or went off a VERY steep embankment) the hood isn't going to sell for much 
Glad to hear you are ok though....

at about 10 pm tonight i was driving down a service road off 190 here in killeen tx. my right front tire blew out and slung me right in to a ditch. i was only doin about 45 luckily, but it totaled my car and everyone on the scene said me and my passenger should be dead. we rolled 5 times and landed on the roof. the roof caved in in a v shape right over our heads. some how we both managed to crawl out. have no idea how. hes ok, got glass in his hand and a mild concussion. i got a badly cut ear and mild concussion also along with pissing blood. my gt is destroyed far beyond repair.
the moral of my story is never buy continental tires. j/k
but seriously guys, dont be a fool like me. before you head out check your tires and the small **** you never think of on a regular basis.
