    Almost didn’t hear my tire pop 30 min ago because of music. Should have turned it louder instead of stopping because now I have to deal with it

    Edit: in case anyone was wondering… Strut snapped and popped three tires trying to get to a shop. Called a tow to tow ten min down the road for 100$ :^) love that for me

        You should install a fog machine. It could come in handy.

          Two eye patches, ear plugs, might as well throw some ear plugs in your nose too.

        It actually popped the one tire twice… I think lol. I heard a loud bang/pop and pulled over, kicked the tire and pressed on it a few times and it didn’t move at all so drove a little bit more down the road (less than 20 mph) and it popped again. Though maybe the first bang was the spring snapping… Definitely deflated the second time though. Then the mechanic showed up and put a spare on (I didn’t have a donut, I just assumed it was in my wheel space in the trunk, also apparently don’t have a jack soooo whoops). Drove it down the road a little anddddd pop goes the new old wheel rofl.
