As I neared the intersection of US27 with the Armuchee Bypass, headed toward town, suddenly my Rav 4 started making a horrible racket and vibrating as if I had a flat tire on the back. I pulled down a side street and got out to check the tires. I saw nothing! All tires were inflated and seemed intact. Drove a little farther and stopped to check again. Then put on the flashers and drove slowly to Matt Lloyd’s shop to get the, presumed, bad news. Matt and I took a quick spin. He suggested maybe a bad tire. But when we stopped I spotted the culprit — a bolt protruding three-quarters of an inch from the tire at the inner edge of the tread. I evidently picked the monster up right there in the middle of Hwy 27. Five minutes at Tuck’s tires and it had been pulled, plugged and all was well. Whew!
