a flat is better than a nick/scratch/tear....lol


if it's not a thick bolt,(nail thickness is fixable) it can be repaired easily..... go to the dealer or a tire shop...they will sand the inner part of the tire and install a patch from the inside.......also the air pressure will keep it secure.....

I swear ... Each and every time I get a new car ... Its either a flat/nick/scratch/tear/ or something within the first few hundred miles! My last car (Acura RDX) I was on the interstate and a 18 wheeler hearled a rock and cracked the windshield ... o, and I was on the way home from the DEALER -- yeah, I made it all of 5-6 miles down the road!!!

Anyone else have anything bad happen before the 400-500 mile mark?
