| about 6 months ago I stopped for a bite and in the tire of this 4 wheeler was a set of keys. one of the keys punctured threw the tread and the rest where dangling from the tire. She must have just picked it up in the parking lot. I thought that was pretty amazing. |

I had a screw in a tire one time.
It was a little cramped, but she didn't seem to mind. :lol:
Seriously, though, my ex-girlfriend's mother was an absolutely terrible driver. My g/f and I were at her place when she got home one day, complaining of a weird sound in the front of her car. I went out to see if I there was anything obvious, and it turned out that she'd hit a cone in a construction zone, and somehow lodged it between her tire & fender wall. And then driven with it like that for a good 15-20 miles. |

| How about a Hammer? I ran over one in a parking lot and went down the road for a ways and noticed this weird thumping noise so pulled over to check it out. The hammer was stuck into the tread with the claws driven in. Tire didnt lose air, though. I must have struck it just right for that to happen. Tied a piece of rope to it and the frame and moved a few feet to pull it out and went to a garage to get it fixed, still didnt lose air but not taking a chance on it! |

| 2 months ago found a little metal sliver in a drive tire. Wasn't leaking but was sure odd, looked like a minature shank. It was only about an inch and a half in length. The odd part was I seemed to pick it up after delivering to a site where they refurbish military vehicles. The running joke for the company was that it was shrapnel from Iraq. With it's shape and small size and where I was delivering, very possible it was a piece of shrapnel that feel off a tank or humvee that was brought in for refurbishing. |

| It wasn't in a tire, but while scrapping out some cars, found a cloth glove on the oil pump inside the pan. |

Probably from the carcass wedged between the front bumper and steering linkage. :? :) |
