    You didn't hit anything. The car in front of you flicked the tire up, and it hit you. ;)

    The insurance company? Yeah, they do. Flo may be cool, but the firm she hawks for is the devil in corporate form.

    The tire I hit destroyed the wire lining. Snow has gotten in it and melted cause it to malfunction this morning.

    I had 3 moving tires and one was locked by the ebrake. all my dash lights lit up, I stopped but didn't see anything. keep driving...then it turned off....felt bumpy...the friction melted the tread off. I have to get a new tire along with some other stuff. FML

    yeah, Here in north dakota they don't have freaking lights along the fake "highways". if you're going 65-70 in a 2 lane and a smart cow pops up out of no where in your lane you won't have time to brake and you an't go in the left lane because chances are it's packed and people are going 80 in a 70!.....true story about the cow, a guy in my shop hit a freaking cow.
