Had a catastrophic blowout today (catastrophic for the tire, not for the car). Luckily it happened at 15 mph two streets over from home. **** lucky.
...
What gets me was I just had the car serviced by the dealer for the airbag recall 2 weeks ago and they also looked the car over and told me my ball joints were loose. So I had it looked at last week by my local shop for wheel shake/ball joints/strut mounts/swaybar links/etc --they checked EVERYTHING but couldn't find anything wrong.
No suspension clunks or bangs this morning, just suddenly heard/felt a thunking like something was in the tire, so I pulled over...tire seemed OK. Slowly drive a little more to turn around and suddenly "PSSHSHSHSHSHSHSHHSHSHS" like I was draging something. Pull over again and find tire completely flat.
I called the shop up today, asked if the mechanic saw anything when he had it in the air and said--no everything was fine. I texted them the pics and they were awestruck and said there's no way they would have missed that and no way they would have let me leave the shop like that. They couldn't offer any explanations for how that would happen either, because even while the car's in the air, the spring is still under compression.

What brand spring? Steeda?
I'm assuming spring broke?

Heated/pony projector mirrors installed today. Really wanted the heat, but the projectors are pretty neat. It was also nice being 100% plug and play.

Well, I did wash about 30 pounds of salt and dirt off right after I took the picture...
But I'm just prepping my GT brakes so I can paint them today.

It's primarily east coast, it stops at Ohio, doesn't come up North into Michigan. I've been hearing that it's coming here for over a year now, still hasn't happened.
Every time I go through Ohio I grab a couple cases.

Alabama is just such a hard state to sell alcohol in, I just figured it was available everywhere.
Well today I will just have to drive my mustang and pick some up. :-)
