on the way to san diego today my front right tire exploded. luckily, 1. it was during the day, 2. i wasn't alone, my mom was with me, and 3. no one was hurt. it happened while i was on the 15 and maybe 25-30mins away from home. we got a hold of the police, who called a tow truck. after like 40/45+ mins, all was taken care of. i was pleasantly suprised to learn that i did have a spare tire...however, it was a tad flat. it did get us back to town though and to costco to change all four tires...better safe than sorry, right? oh, and it was only while waiting for the tow truck did my mom think it was best to tell me that this same tire had a flat before back on maui, which was "fixed" by being patched up. so maybe she could have told me that sooner, huh?
a picture from the side of the road. the cars were going by pretty fast and kind of close.
the tow truck came. yay!
for real, the tire exploded.
for obvious reasons that would be the downside of my day. the upside? i got this at costco:
i saw it in someone's cart and even before i saw hello kitty on it, just by the colors alone i knew it was hello kitty related, haha. there's also a phone, it was so cute. but i went with this since i'd probably use it more. there was only two left so they went pretty quickly.
anyway, we did end up making it to san diego. i could even see the tire marks on the road where my tire blew out and had to drive over to the center divider.
till later.
