Except that this one was a little more eventful than the others. The tire basically came off the rim completely while i was driving home from a coffee group dinner at 10:30 pm on the H3. Meet the H3 below. During the daytime it's a beautiful freeway that goes right through the mountains in the center of the island. It's a road unlike anything else i've been on. But at nighttime, its very dark, windy and a bit creepy and i was the lucky one to get a flat tire on it.
I was lucky enough to have a friend with me, although she may not agree, haha. We were also lucky to have a good shoulder to pull over on, but that didn't lessen the fear that we were sitting on this super high bridge way above the trees hoping everyone stayed in their lanes and didn't hit us while waiting the hour + on someone to save us.
While speaking of someone saving us, i'd like to mention who DIDN'T save us. The HPD. There was a cop about a quarter of a mile back who had pulled someone over, and we were certain he would pull over and check on the car with it's hazard lights on, pulled over on the side of a bridge with 2 ladies inside--but we were wrong. He didn't even slow down. Worthless Cop.
Anyway, thanks to our great roadside assistance program with USAA, which we have used more times than i'd like to admit, the tire was changed very quickly, while us two preggos stood outside the car, huddled from to block out the crazy wind i actually thought might blow us right off that bridge. and because it's not everyday you're standing on the H3, we took a minute to peer down below us and look at all the trees below. Pretty amazing.

That car has the worst luck with tires. Or maybe it's just you.
Did you have pork with you?
