PWN'D!:The Musical

So i was driving back to Decatur from Champaign on Sunday when my driver's side rear tire pretty much exploded. I drove on in denial for another minute then i decided to pull over to check it out, and it was pretty much dead. The next thing that went through my mind was aw crap, i've never changed a tire on the truck before. Lucky for me the woman driving behind me when it blew out pulled over to help me. She flagged down her friend in another truck and he pulled over, too. When they couldn't get the tire off, they called his cousin and uncle to come out and help, and when they arrived they brought a floor jack, an 18 volt impact wrench, a torque wrench and an air compressor (my spare was flat...sigh). They had me sit in their truck where it was warm while they changed my tire for me, and then they made sure i was okay driving back to Decatur. They also gave me a can of pepsi while i waited. I don't know if they knew it, but they restored my faith in people that day, and confirmed that good people do exist. I want to find them and send them a card or something. They were wonderful.
Behold, the sad remains of my pwnd tire.
