Wheels in the Sky on Fire

I was crossing the 520 Bridge on the way home when my wheel caught fire.

Yes, you read correctly. I was on this bridge: http://www.komonews.com/news/local/44931132.html

The shop said my wheel baring was bad and that there was likely a spill of some sort. I didn't crash into anything.

The wsdot toe-truck was there in less than three minutes. They towed me across the bridge until AAA was able to take me the rest of the way.

Hopefully, it won't cost much to repair. The shop people said the truck looked really awesome considering.

The phrase "burning rubber" is not to be taken literally. :p

Holy crap! I'm glad you're okay, and--what an interesting way to have some car maintenance!
