As I was driving to the monthly Trails Council board meeting on Thursday, I suddenly heard a massive racket coming from the back of my car. I pulled over to the side, and discovered that a wrench had somehow impaled itself on my rear passenger tire!

I have no idea how that happened, I was going around 40 mph on a busy road, so my only theory is that it was bouncing around on the road and somehow it flipped up just when I hit it.

Luckily I didn’t lose control, and just had to get a new tire. The folks at Discount Tire Centers were highly amused by the sight, and lived up to their name with a good price and friendly service.
