We coulda died!

Just look at this tire! How does such a thing even happen?
(And no I don't care for the scientific answer.)

This blowout happened just a couple miles east of Strawberry reservoir. If that's not bad enough, can you even see the microscopic jack they gave us for this vee-hicle? We (James) could barely get the tire off and the new one on. It was accomplished after about an hour and 15 minutes. The spare was somewhat flat (but not too bad) so we tippy-toed all the way to Heber where we filled it up. We also bought a fairly decent looking used tire, had that put on and the spare put back in it's spot because we weren't going home... we were headed to the ward camp!

Wow, that is one crappy tire. Did you keep it for target practice? HAHA Not that additional holes in it would make it look any different it's so bad.

Oh yah, that's just what I need... another piece of junk laying around the yard. Thankfully dad let this one stay at the tire store.
