I feel for you!

Happen to me last Friday night. I drove the wife's STi and picked her up from work. Pulled out of the lot and felt the car give a strange shake. I knew it was a flat. Luckily one of the techs was still there and helped us out. Got the car up on a hoist and found a piece of metal sticking out between two tread blocks right at the edge of the the side wall. Got the space saver on to drive home. She had the tire patched today but... she ordered a new winter cause the hole was so close to the side wall. Snows have less than 10,000 kilometers on them.
