I've seen worse, customer had a flat and kept driveing on it for way to long, the tire shredded and the blets turned into whips... it tore up an engine wiring harness, a headlight assembly, fender, wheel, the tire obviously, headlight wiring harness and an ABS control module.... her insurance company piad $5,000+ for the damages.. I have a pic on my phone of the wheel/tire but not the car... anyone know how to get a pic of a Nextel i860?

I don't know what you all are talking about.. there's plenty of tread left on that tire. For instance, look by the crack.. there's at least 1/4 inch of tread laying next to the rim..

Some people are just stupid.. maybe she thought she had run-flat's?

I'm a female and I will be the first to admit that there are some girls that are just too airheaded to handle a vehicle.

not just women, its the illegal mexicans, the SUV drivers, and the idiots who do their make up or talk on the phone. they are the problems. and the ones who impede traffic in the left lane. HATE those punks.

but anyway, those tires had ZERO tread that we could see, all we saw was flat rubber. the technician had to take an angle grinder to what was left to get it off the rim. oh, and the rim was completely pristine, only lord knows how!!

3 options..

email it to yourself,
buy one of these data cables
or go to a local Nextel store and see if they ( for a fee, of course ) will rent you their data cable
