Yeah, the rock garden before the mud pit got really sloppy.  I said it before and I'll say it again.  I hate using the gas pedal and that is what I had to do.  Unfortunetly I bounced a little bit and when I did it pinched the side wall between the rim and the rock.  I can fit almost 3 keys in the damn hole!!!  $220 tire with less the 5,000 miles, TOAST!!!   AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am actually really pissed off but that is life you know.  Now I have to work on getting a replacement ASAP.  If anyone has one laying around and wouldn't mind parting with it for a couple bucks shoot me a PM.  By the way, Cheeks, I still have your $50.  When every you have some time just let me know and I will get it to you.  BTC that day was a great time.
