But it sounds better in your story since you can bash cars more that way.
How about $450...? I was on holidays in Manitoba and got a flat running over a bungee cord, then when I got home had to order another one because that tire I managed to find to allow me to drive home, was not the same make (nobody had one in Canada) as the other three and my car is AWD with Posi traction and all the tires need to be the same... $900. in total that flat cost me. but man I loved driving that car and miss it as I am trying to be car light now...
