I was on my way to get my struts and shocks installed,
The temps were -8* , my girlfriend went out to start the car and turn on my bun warmers.
Her observation was a difficulty to get the car [emoji93] ted
The fuel guage showed a third, I wanted to fill it, because of the tremendously​ extremely cold weather and travel time.

It took a bit to warm up , so I broke my rules and kept it running while I refueled.
I noticed that the right front tire , looked a tiny bit low.
I had a complete change of mind on the sixty mile journey due to a bad feeling.

I got a block from the apartment complex, the car blew that left front tire.

I was able to nurse it back , completely flat.
I have a full size spare 225/60/16.
It is 3* now and I don't have to go anywhere.
As much as,
I want to feel bad about the event ,
I was grateful that I didn't get on the Expressway , and headed home instead.
Should have been more proactive on replacement of the tires.

If I asked my wife of 40+ years to go out and start my car in below zero weather she would kick me dead in the nuts, no ifs, ands or buts about it.
