This was last sunday in Encinal Canyon. I blew a tire in the RS when I hit a good sized rock. Luckily my friend was driving my R8...

If you have taken a wheel off the R8, replaced the RS tire with and abandoned the R8...then it would have been a funny story....otherwise what are we missing here????

No, don´t worry, we get it. It´s just an unfortunate choice of words, maybe a better title for your picture would be "An episode with a rock and three nice cars all in black parked on the side of the road (with an Asian-type passenger looking on)". Sorry if she isn´t Asian, but she has that posture, know what I mean?

What strikes me are the license plates you have on. How does that work?

Given malmasri's hypothetical scenario, I totally agree, that would have been funny. A better title would have been the three lost amigo's.

Back on-topic: what was the tire pressure? Was it inflated at the correct pressure?

Did you get a warning from the TPMS before the tire lost all the air?

If you dont have PCCB, the 996 Turbo S spare tire fits the 996 and 997 GT3.
