It finally happened!

I got my first flat tire ever at 36 years old. So I guess I popped my flat tire cherry. On a positive note I found out that my spare worked, but I had to pry it out since it had never been used and was stuck like a ****.

it happens to the best of us. i remember the first flat i got. i was on the highway, just got on and boom, the tire pops. now, at this point i had a decision to make. i didnt have a spare. i drove home on thew blown tire(4-5miles) and it was the devil to get off. all of the lug studs were rusted into the rear rotor. i finally got it out and all was well. i'll try and post a pic later if i can get this scanner to work.

I was trying to follow my friend around a couple years back when I took a turn, and just as my back tires started losing traction, my driver side rear tire hit into a pothole and popped. Scariest flat I ever got. And that was the first time the spare in my 1983 Rx7 had ever been used. It held air, it just didn't have any in it from sitting so long (four years) without being ran.
