Flying Tire

On Saturday we took our car in to get an oil change and our tires rotated. Later that day Brandon took me back to pick up my car, as I pulled out on State Street in Orem, my steering kinda felt funny and before I knew it I heard this horrible grinding loud terrifying noise and my car was incredibly hard to steer. I thought Oh-crap one of my tires just blew!!! So I was trying to pull my car over when I looked up and saw my tire flying!! It was bouncing across State Street and had crossed 5-lanes of traffic and cars were trying to dodge it. I finally got my car on the side of the road and a guy across the street picked up my tire for me and brought it over. Luckily Brandon was able to jack the car up and get my tire semi-back on. We luckily were able to get ahold of the tire place and they admitted fault. One of the "very smart" mechanics had forgotten to put the lug nuts on all of the way!! Hello- even I know that!!! I am just sooo glad that it wasnt worse and that my flying/bouncing tire didnt hit anyone. Well my car spent the day in the shop and is now all better. I think I need to sell it though as it is cursed, that car has had more things happen to it than any other car, and none of them have been my fault.

Holy crap that is so scary!!! That could have been so bad. What if you were on the freeway. What lame mechanics. I'm glad you're ok.
