“October 3, 2008, as I was driving north bound in the slow lane (right lane), about 7:30 pm, with the top down of 2006 Pontiac Solstice, I heard a loud bang! Right before I lost control of the car and was swerving all over the two-lane road. Luckily there were no other vehicles in the other lane or right around me. After I finally got the car under control I pulled over to the right side of the road. My first thought was that a tire had blown. With my hazard lights on I got out of the car and walked around it expecting to see a flat tire. None of them were flat! I was really confused. …”
