OK. You want to send it to my PayPal account? Because the two blowouts I've had in the Insight were both the left front, both caused by road debris (holes in the sidewall you could stick a couple of fingers through), both at highway speeds. Both of them were just a bit of thump-thump-thump and a bit of drag & pull. In fact, one was on a freeway interchange - I5 south to I205 south of Stockton - and I wasn't even sure at first that it was a blowout, and not just a stretch of typical California pavement :-)

And then there was the time, back in the '70s, when I had a blowout in the right front of my old GTO - at about 110 mph. No drama at all.
