VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 25, 2003 I'll be away for a couple days this weekend, but I have my laptop and provided I have telephone access I will still be able to get online. If you don't see me tonight, Saturday or most of Sunday then you know why. But I'm almost sure I'll have a phone line to hook into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 25, 2003 Well, my trip was short lived. I was on the road driving on I-64 in Hampton Va when I had a blow out of my right rear tire. If it had been a front tire I may not have been able to control the car. The tire that blew out was Firestone and many of you may remember the problems Firestone had a few years ago. Well, it seems that their problems in tires hit me today. The tire was only a few years old and still in good shape, the reason for the blow out was because the tread pealed away from the tire. Anyway, all is well and I have a new tire on the car but my trip is canceled. Which is just as well because it was a "work" trip anyway lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted July 25, 2003 Glad you are safe and sound and that it was only a tire that had to be replaced. Replacing our fearless leader would be impossible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, plus the fact that I had my mother in the car too. Believe me, a blow out doing 75mph isn't fun lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
