Well this is a new one to me.
I live near and work in the city, DC. Yesterday I decided to drive to work since I had to pick up my cat from the vet, well after an allready long and crappy day I was on my way home stopped in the left most lane going up a hill waiting to take a left turn when all of a sudden out of nowhere I see this rogue inflated tire on a rim heading right for my car next to this truck.
There was literally nothing I could do because I was stuck at this light and I saw it two seconds before it "grazed" my car I just saw this big white truck and next to it this tire on a rim bouncing down the road. At first I thought I was in the clear cause it made it halfway past my car without hitting it, but low and behold as soon as it got to the rear drivers quarter all I heard was a big whack. Left some nice scratches and a slight crease in my back quarter.
Needless to say I was pissed, pulled over and waited to see if someone would claim the tire thinking that if you lost it you might need it, however no one showed, some passer by said I was lucky that was all it did, I told him to screw.
sucks, what does one do about a tire, guess I have to live with it cause insurance wont do crap for that, not enough damage, oh well never buying another "new" car in the city that is for sure.
thanks for reading my rant
