A Cool Incident

So Friday last I'd just left a customer's parking lot headed to another job. Waiting in the left turn only lane at a stop light another pick up pulled up on my right side, gave me the "roll your window down" signal---so I did. He told me it looked like my right rear tire had picked up a nail?!?!

Light changes, I proceed and find a nice flat paved parking lot to have a look. As I'm driving less than 1,000 feet I'm wondering how in the hell this guy could see something I thought to be at best difficult to see nail?

As I'm checking the right rear tire clear as day is small nail with a white plastic head! Here's a photo:



I don't know when this happened, tire pressure was over 60 PSI so I didn't think it was a full puncture. Naturally most days I'd have noticed this if the tire was in the right position or pressure had leaked off, this was my lucky day I think.

I really wish I could thank this guy in person, maybe buy him a cup of coffee or something. It amazed me then and now too, Good Man!
