Ouch, suckage that. My flat tire story beats you if only because it was even weirder ;) happened back in March, shortly before I bought my Focus
Picture this, you're going to the mall with some friends and you back into the parking space you're using, no muss no fuss.
Return some two hours later after the mall has closed for the night (Its Sunday natch) to find that my right rear tire is flatter than a week old open can of cola :angry:
Then as the CAA tow truck driver is swapping out my tire for the spare (which was mint condition after 9 years) he pulls out the business end of a butterfly knife that somehow got jammed into the tread of the tire underneath :blink: I mean I knew I was in a shitty neighbourhood but geez....
Then driving home on the highway for 50km on a temporary spare at maybe 90km/h while everyone else is passing you and giving you hand gestures... not fun...
