Crazy

Not from my M3 but.......... I had a blow out on the autobahn today at 120mph in my Challenger. The TPMS Aluminum ring broke off the valve stem. Good thing I have some driving skills. I controlled it, no accidents, damage to the car,.... not even a scratch on the rim......... just a busted ass tire. Someone was feeling sorry for me today, as this could have ended tragically.... for me at least.

As stated, there was no damage.... I got very lucky. That is not a speed to lose a tire at.....

I think this is your Challenger getting back at you for calling it a "Chally"

The only pic I could take......... doesn't look bad, but I sure did not like seeing her on the back of a wrecker/ transporter.
