My Boscobel Misfortune

[k9t8m]

Rolled the odometer to 66666, and soon after had a blowout.

I didnt have a cobra spare to clear the brakes, so I had to have my dad drive 220mi with some 17" wheels I had so I could drive the car home. It could have been much worse, and I didnt damage the wheel, which is good. If it wern't for the guys at the beach party I would still be sitting on the side of the road.

Id like to personal thank you to Mike, JD, Jeb, Gilby, Brent, Rich, Joel, my dad, and everyone else who help to get my car back home safely. THANK YOU!

Here are some pics of the carnage.

How did that happen? did you hit a bump the wrong way? Thank god it's only a tire and a couple tanks of gas!

Ooo yea that could have turned ugly..good thing that tire didn't come off the rim and take out your fender..crisis everted. I thought I was gonna get lucky when my car hit 77,777 not too long ago..but no such luck lol..

Great Job of making sure that the blow out didn't turn out worse. With a long line of cars that could have been a lot worse.

Once again shows how the members of LvC are more of a family than a car group. Thanks all who helped.

 

[JAX.TRUX]

Kind of tire?

What kind and size was that tire?

 

[Stangman]

Glad it survived, and glad everyone is ok!

 

[mossbergman]

Those suck. Luckily no damage for you

Bummer. It could have been worse though. Glad to see it wasn't that bad. LVC is full of great people.

Looks like it snagged the uca bolt
At least all it jacked up was the tire.
Glad your ok.

move a rear wheel to the front. put the spare on rear. a 16" will clear even cobra rear brakes.

No it won't.


And you are more than welcome Chris. Wish I could have done more.

 

[94m5]

Unless you're referring to the rears.

 

[chris2523]

correct, referring to the rears.

the rears are way too wide to fit on the front.

the rears are way too wide to fit on the front.

also the wrong bolt pattern for any spare we had.

i blame the amish, they cursed us

Mike and JD put in a lot of extra Hours ... others too ...

Wasn't Debi messing with that Amish horse? Didn't they stare her down about that? Wait aren't there a lot of Amish in Ohio Pronounced Aho' ...

Maybe that explains Tux?

[k9t8m]

I ordered 2 new front tires today, so its on the mend. Should be back on the road by this weekend.

[Gilby959798]

Any time Chris, I'm glad a tire is all it was...

 

[k9t8m]
