Remember this from two weeks ago?

Guess where I am now? Same highway. Different car. Different pothole. I haven’t even picked the Porsche back up yet and ....
I’ll be sending Caltrans a bill for all of this shit.

Did you blow another tire? Jeez, Caltrans has got to pay for that.

Don’t BMW’s come with runflats? You should consider the Bridgestone Driveguard :)

M cars don’t come with spares or run flats. It’s a can of fix a flat and an air compressor, because racecar!
(The irony here is that it is an actual racecar -- that car was on Thunderhill a month ago.)

I’m dealing with blowouts on my 911 and my M5. Didn’t hit anyone or bend anything, and I’m enjoying a cold beer on a Saturday night.
Ain’t nothing wrong with my luck. Not a goddamn thing. I’m the luckiest bastard alive.

Run flats are heavy and poor handling. So it make sense they are on the M cars,

I think certain people on here have worse luck than Flynorcal...

Fair point. But popping tires on the same road within a month of each other is pretty shit luck.

So when you called the tow truck, did you just say, it happened again.

Sorry that things have come in two’s but it’s good to read everyone and everything is OK except the tire.
Yeah, I have a beef with BMW AG that they decide we buyers don’t need spares, dipsticks, water temp gauges (M5 may differ, never been in an E60 one...), or even runflats.
Brings to mind a comment someone posted in Mazdeuce’s R63 Unicorn thread, about how German engineers don’t feel terribly compelled to make things easily repairable because stuff they engineer never breaks, yo. If only...
Also very much on board with the pholosphy that nobody got hurt, nothing serious got damaged, so we good here :)

Damn dude. I mean, owning cars like those means you should always be ready to call a tow truck. But not for fucking pot holes.

Between you and I, the driver in all of this seems awfully suspect.

For some reason I find it hard to feel much empathy for you after seeing photos of your cars. I think the emotion I am feeling is more... jealousy, I think. Yep, definitely, jealousy.

If it makes you feel any better every time I’m angrily cut off by a guy driving a minivan I totally let it slide as I’d hate me too. All good.

Don’t go proving what a good guy you are; leave me happy in petty jealousy.

I just noticed this now. Good to see you don’t run a front plate on the M5, also I thought the BMW CCA grill badge looks a little weird on the modern BMWs. Looks much more natural on the classics.
