I was coming back from a New Year's day party and I was driving by GF's 95 240SX. I was in fifth doing 80 when this old gen G20 comes up fast behind us. I tried speeding up without shifting to fourth to make it even since I know we can beat him, but the car has no pull and the guy passes us. So I downshift and start catching up to him. By the time I'm reaching his back bumper we're doing 110mph and the car starts to shake a little weird. I slow down immediately as the shaking is getting worse. All of a sudden while we're down to about 65mph the front right tire blew and completely shred. I was able to stop on the side of the road. Freaking lucky that it didn't blow at 110 or 118 (max speed).

 

man good you're okay....thats some scary ****!!! sometimes we put a little too much faith in these machines and the materials that hold them together...be careful cause things can fall apart at anytime!!

 

Yeah, we're cool. It was 11pm last night and the pike was pretty deserted since the holiday. I wasn't able to get the lugnuts off. The pep boy dude used an impact drill or whatever you call them to put it on and even when I would jump on it, it wouldn't budge. Luckily this truck driver stopped and helped us out. He had some tools and they were better then Nissan OEM crap that comes with the car.
