Hit a brick going 55mph today!

Right tire is popped... lucky it didnt go under my car and snag my RSB! it was a huge brick!

How did a brick end up on the road? I would have steered it out of the way otherwise I would have braked instead of running over it cuz it would have minimized the damage.

On the Howard Franklin bridge I am always dodging stuff. One time was some lawn care equipment (weedeaters) that got out of the back of a trailer. This week was some PVC pipe that fell off a truck. Scary...

Ya doofus, the spare was never meant to be placed on the drive wheels! You're supposed to rotate the rear wheel on that side up to the drive wheel and put the spare on the rear...
