front right tire blew out the sidewall.... heavy truck, high center of gravity, no mercy for the beginner driver.... what a ride... 70+ mph on the thruway.... I think I'll have that drink now.

4. Hey thanks.... but seriously... I nearly rolled that puppy... it has |
|
perhaps 200 gallons of oil in tanks in the back, a high mounted air compressor... it went off like a cannon on the down side of a hill, (blind side) and if I woulda bit it... I can't imagine what would have happened when the cars behind me came over the hill... what a scary scary ride... them years of sliding on the snow and ice came in real handy today....

5. Thanks all.... I hope I never have that feeling again.... I was once |
|
run off the road into the median in a honda accord.... and went left right left right left right left right in the grass until I could get her down to where I could brake safely.... they say the third time is a charm but I hope it never comes....

8. Damn good driver, you are |
|
I once blew a steer tire on my big rig. Luckily, it was on the right side, since another truck was passing me and I veered to the right. Scared the shit out of me.

10. Why thanks... some guys from a company we do business with |
|
heard the tire explode... and they saw the whole thing... they musta called our manager cuz he did mention that they told him it was pretty amazing that it didn't go over... F350 severly loaded single tire rear.... not a good thing.
