I've never had a tire blow out either while jaywalking or having sex regardless of birth control method.

My dealer found a nail in the back tire as well. So I guess that makes five flats in 2 months...

Fortunately, he was willing to plug them and did it for free to make up for the disaster that was my recent attempt to get him to fix the rattle in my Targa roof. Now I just need to take them to the (really good) local tire guy and have him also patch the tires and swap them out for some Pirelli Snow Sports. I also ordered some black rims. Woot!

You sounds as compulsive as I am with the car!

Well, off to watch some TV with the wife before she rips my computer out of my hands and chucks it through the window

Well, I figured I hadn't received any direct comments from you in a while, so I thought I'd try to get your attention. I was feeling neglected and afraid you didn't love me anymore!
