Screw pics of the car... a picture of the look on your face right when it happened would have been priceless. Guess pics of the car will have to do. Way to aviod r3vving though.

Admit it... you shit your pants. It would have happened even to the best of us. Did the mad toe-out you must have had on your driver's side give you any problems?

If you want a picture of anyone's face, it would be the tow truck driver's face when he saw my car, drivers front on the ground, trying to figure out how to tow it without destroying the ES valance :)

Maybe it's just my experience with blowouts, but I didn't freak at all. And I have the parts sitting in my garage, so cost wasn't an issue, and AAA was towing, so that was free too. The spring perch broke off first, I pulled to the side, and saw that the tires were all intact - and since I was in the median, I decided to cross to the breakdown and check more closely. That's when the tire burst. But this is probably my 5th blowout or so, I never even flinched. It's not hard steering your car with a flat tire - go watch cops :)

happened on wife's 528e pulling in the driveway funny shit! Lucky you managed to cowboy wrestle that fucker before any serious damage.

PICS!!!!

She was lucky it was in the driveway. No serious damage at all - though I scraped up my ES spoiler trying to get the damn thing in the garage on Sat.


DanGillan was a big help, we got the stuff off my car, both sides, and pulled the parts I need off the euro car. I had to bring the strut housings to Midas (no air, no torch) to get them apart/put them together, but the guy was nice, $50 for the whole thing, and a beer to cool me down.

This weekend I guess, I'll put it all back together and have MAD rake for a few minutes - until I get the rears on. Pics are developing... :)
