I was whipping down the Interstate last night in my '95 9000CS here in town and ran over a long piece of metal or something that was all the way across the lane. With a semi on each side and one behind me, there was no way to avoid it. I was very worried that I'd blown a tire (yes, they're Michelins) because it really jarred the car. Got even more concerned when I saw at least six Hondas and Toyotas parked along the road with blown tires and 2 "Highway Angels"* working as fast as they could to get the tires changed. Saab continued to drive fine. I pulled off and checked the tires at a service station. Everything is AOK.
*Highway Angels is the nickname for Tenn. Dept. of Transportation Help trucks that look like yellow ambulances. They carry gas and fuel of all types, emergency replacement belts, tire inflators, jacks and anything else that can be used to get any type of car or truck off the interstate safely.
