Not Quite the Perfect Trip.

So if you saw my Twitter and Facebook updates last weekend, you heard about my car dilemma.  I was driving down I40 W and had a blowout, I was able to pull over, and got out to look at what happened.  It was more than I could have ever imagined!  It was quite a shock for me.  It's amazing what a tire can do!

It looked like my tire shredded like a tractor trailer's (and reminence of my tire, wheel well and bumper were spread across the road 20 ft back)  It got towed back to Wilmington and it was interesting getting around last week as busy as I was.  Luckily my sister was here and I was able to share a car with her.  I just heard back from the insurance company and my car went from being perfectly fine to having over $4,500 worth of damage.  I am waiting for them to determine whether the suspension is messed up too... if it is, my "Just Perfect!" CRV will be considered totaled, so you may be seeing me in something new in the near future.  We'll see.  Anyway, glad there wasn't a lot of traffic and all worked out!  I'll keep you posted.
