She felt the car shimmering badly and realized she must have a blowout. She managed to get off the exit. AAA was called and the minivan was towed and I went to pick her up. I HAVE NEVER seen tire shredded like that. On hindsight, she did a very good job maintaining control, and all the gods in heaven must be watching over her. Here's the right front tire: http://www.dragonsgate.net/karisusama/LJpics/Tire-Good.jpg Here's what's left with the left tire: http://www.dragonsgate.net/karisusama/LJpics/Tire-Bad.jpg Now one of our friends calls her a NASCAR quality driver. Another friend is convinced that the Firestone / Bridgestone tires are at fault. There are a number of cases pending against them. Will need to do more investigation... -- // richard m: richard @imagecraft.com // w: http://www.imagecraft.com/pub/Portfolio09/ blog: http://rfman.wordpress.com // book: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/745963
