Hey Spook, you old prophet you. That tire went flat in the trunk. I took it back down to the Firestone store and had them break it down(they only aired it back up before). The inside of the tire had at least a gallon measure of black rubber piled up. If I had driven on it, very likely it would have failed almost immediately.

They replaced it under warranty for $11.96

There is a lot more bent on the car than I thought. The left fender is pushed back at least 1/2 and the fasteners pulled out of the door frame, and the bumper is pushed back about the same distance on that side too.

I've installed the new struts and sway bar links. Tomorrow I'll change the ball joints and repair the steering cooler line. Maybe she'll be in the alignment shop by the weekend.

Regards,
