Windstar Injury

Our family van had been making weird sounds for a while. I promised Betsy the other day that I would drive it around and try to figure out if it was something I could fix (not likely) or if I needed to take it in to get fixed. I forgot to look at it.

Then Betsy called me at about 2:30 pm and said she was leaving the gas station when the front driver side tire shot the car and rolled across 5 lanes of traffic to the other side of the street.

Then, while she was waiting for me to get there, some white-trash bungholes pulled over and tried to steal the tire. Luckily, Santa Claus's twin was buying some Camels at the Chevron and ran across the street to save the day. He almost came to blows with the bungholes in his attempt to retrieve our tire.

It was sad. Our family van is at the doctor right now and we think she's gonna make it.

I'm sorry that I find this hilarious. I'm glad your wife is OK after being directly over the blowout when it occurred.
