Default Off to the tire shop

My buddy just noticed I have what appears to be a screw in one of my new tires.
its on the meaty part of the tread so it may have not gone all the way through.

I figured I would be better off driving it to the shop and then pull it.
that way I dont have to drive around with a donut on :P

The woman you hit found your car and did it on purpose.

Not to threadjack, buy I just had the same problem the other day. My "screw" made thump thump thump noise as I was driving. And my tires are only a few months old.

Fortunately the shop fixed it. I hope it stays fixed too.

Ha Ha very funny guys . Im good. got to the shop,pulled up to the rear door where a guy was on a smoke break. I pulled it out with him as a witness. turns out it was only about
a 3/8 of an inch screw. sprayed some simple green on it to see if there was any bubbling.

Im good to go

Take pics before the white curse strikes again and takes out more of the car.
