Just blew a f**k**g tire!!
Well this sucks...
On my way to work this morning I looked up for a second to adjust my mirror and hit what I think was a piece of wood. It was big enough to scare the $hit out of me but I was able to stay in my lane. I was pretty sure the tire was a goner but my wheel might be bent too. I was almost to work and made it in without having to stop but my pressure light had already come on. It's out in the parking lot with a flat now. I sure hope the wheel is ok. The damage must be on the inside because the outside sidewall is fine. Unfortunately the inside lip of the rim is weaker so it will bend easier.
To make it even worse, I got my front tires with the wheels from AutoMotiveMods so I didn't bother to go buy road hazard.
Time to order up a new tire.
And there is my Monday rant...
Hope your day is better than mine.
EDIT: The rim is trashed too, pics below

I broke two bolts trying to remove the rear bumper on the weekend, cracked the rear passenger door sill panel and broke a ton of clips on the side skirts, can I join your club?
