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

2 days later
i had my friend spot me while i was driving and he found a huge ass nail stuck in my tire....

same thing happened to me a couple months ago...

Found some big bolt lodged into my tire... I didnt find out until my tire became suddenly out of round... The tire was so bad that just driving down the road under 30 mph shook the car around like crazy. When I got to a tire shop they were surprised I even made it there cuz there was a HUGE bubble on the inside of the tire that could of basically exploded if I was driving any longer on it. They threw on my spare, and had to order me a new tire basically.

if you dont know what your doing, I'd definitely take it into someone who does... it could be a bigger problem then it really is.
