Flats

Coming from work the other night on the 401 and I noticed 3 cars on the side of the highway with flats. Me myself, have only experienced 1 flat in my almost 20 years of driving. Been through numerous cars but only 1 flat (knock on wood). How many of you out there have experience flats and how many times? Just automobiles, not bikes, ATVs, off road vehicles, etc.

Just once, in my Civic.

I was on the QEW near the Mississauga Road exit. I hated changing the flat tire while hearing cars and trucks zoom past me at over 100+ km/h.

Nerve-racking.

in 14 years driving I have had 2 flats and both were caused from a piece of sheet metal on the road.
one got up in the wheel well and it shredded it completely.

the other just put one big slit in it...that one was one my way to work.

on a side note I seen a guy driving an explorer the other night and he had a flat but continued to drive it, i guess he didn't want to stop in the area he was lol

I had my first flat in mid september of this year, on the 401 right before the 427 south exit.
