so i was driving back to san diego from LA
and suddenly i hear a thump thump flat sound from my front left tire
i was like wtfffff and i pull over and check it out and it doesnt seem flat....
so i keep driving 10mph all the way from LA hopefully thinking i dont have to replace my tire
b/c at that moment i took out the spare
2 days later
i had my friend spot me while i was driving and he found a huge ass nail stuck in my tire....
so what do i do now???
remove it?

dont take the nail out. doing that will just make all of the air leak out.
take it to any mechanic. they will remove the nail and patch it for about. 10bucks.
