I was driving on the freeway Friday night when my back, driver's side tire blew out. There was no loud POP or BANG but all the sudden the car started pulling, and there were strong vibrations and a flapping sound, like that of a flat tire, which was really loud and i thought for sure was my tire shredding my quarter panel and fender liners lol
Thanks fully i got off the freeway and pulled into a gas station fine, i didnt have a flat when i left my house, but the culprit was a nail in my tire
Then when i pulled out after putting my spare on, somebody lightly hit me from behind at the first signal i hit
Thankfully, there was no damage AT ALL to my car, but it did dent her BMW

Yeah that flat tire incident happened to me once too but mine was due to a pot hole and low air pressure. It was crazy how one moment its fine then the nexts its hanging onto the rim for dear life. Glad you and your car are ok and that BMW needs a band-aid!!

That sucks. A guy getting out of his BMW banged his door into mine yesterday. I was in the car with the windows down about to go home. i flipped out lol started screaming and cussing his date was scared. luckily it hit the impact strip and not the metal. lol he threw a 50 at me and ran away it was so funny. The other people in the parking lot were like WTF is wrong with that kid in his Mercedes. If you can't tell i have anger problems when someone hurts my baby. you should have seen me at my former Mercedes dealership when they broke a few things. 
Ok well time to go to my Mercedes Anger anonymous meeting.

Thanks guys!! Yeah it sucks, but I'm just glad my car, my rim, and I are ok

The worst of the damage is on the inside, i dont have my car right now but i will try and take a picture when i get home of it.
You sound like me, where are these meetings? I need to go too! One time a guy who i didnt really like was in my car, and as he was getting out totally scuffed my door with his shoe, i was WTF?. he said "sorry, its just a car!" so i punched him and accidentally knocked him out

To add to how much I care for my relatively stock C..
I get pretty pissed at my girlfriend whenever she throws her keys on my hood, or the like. Today at the car wash, they didn't rinse off the soap on my rear bumper, and my girlfriend goes "Oh chill, it's just some soap, besides, it was only what? Six bucks?" She's just so ignorant. Her sebring convertible is filthy. She doesn't even need to work to keep things working, her parents have it covered. I need a break.

Again, glad you're alright. I'd imagine some damage on the rim! Gladly not!

Great thing you pulled over when you did. A friend of mine didn't react to his car pulling and before he knew it, his bumper was higher than his quarter panel after all the tire flapping lol.

Holy ****! That's crazy. Slap some new rubber on and everything will be fine. Can't tell anything from the outside, which is great!
I freak out anytime someone is near my car. I don't even like people leaning against it. My gf is great about taking care of it, too. I just hate when people just open their door into your car. It's happened at school a couple times where some chick (I swear it's never guys) will just throw her door open right into the side of your car. I also tend to photograph license plates when I have to part next to someone that looks like they beat on their car. LOL

Yesterday, I was at Publix. I had come out of the store and was about to get to my car when I noticed three girls eyeing the back of it as they were walking by. I was approaching the car from the front. I made my gf walk around to the back to make sure that nothing was wrong. I have no clue why they were staring the way they did, but it scared the hell out of me. I thought someone had hit me!

That's a lot of bad luck all in one day. You will be having a large amount of good luck in the very near future.
Really sorry to hear about the flat tire and getting hit by another vehicle. Stay safe!
