how about this for a carnage...

you're driving on the highway/freeway at high speeds and the rainy weather. Than all of a sudden your rear wheel gives out and the whole car just goes to the side. happens so fast that you couldnt even react to get it straight or stop.

lesson learned. never cheap out on tires. I had oe Michelin all seasons that come with it. 70% thread too. all inflated correctly. but the sidewall blew up.
pics here...

Jeez ake, glad you're ok. Bummer.

Pez, maybe like 3-4 inches upon cresting an onramp. Engine speed got a little higher than the exhaust valves liked. Could have been worse...
