I ran into a ramblin' racoon at about 90 mph in my '91 Sentra SER..scared the hell

out of me.....came to a skidding stop about 100 yards later! Knocked a lot of air pressure

out of the tire.. Later found a lot of Racoon hair between the tire and the rim....grisly!

Not sure what happened to old rocky... A terrible lesson for a young radiologic technologist in a hurry to get home!

I was exiting the highway down the off-ramp which leads onto Lakeshore Blvd in Toronto. There's a seagull in the lane ahead of me, standing there. Traffic is moving so I really don't want to slow down, figuring he'll fly away. Instead, the seagull starts running until finally he remembers he has wings and starts to flap them. Too late. Bam. I look in the rearview mirror and I see a pair of wings sticking up from the pavement. Whoops.

Short and not-so-sweet = skunk, fire truck, dual rear wheels, carcass wedged into gap between wheels, not found until parked IN the station. You can probably do the rest.

If that were an old "split rim" truck wheel, I wouldn't even be in the same room with it!!

 

Having been on the receiving end of a Panavia Tornado GR1 main wheel being split whilst still fully inflated i can assure you that wheels are bloomin' dangerous lol
