More On The Jetta-Thrashing Truck Tire And Its American Victim [Novelties]
newVideoPlayer(”/JettaVsTire_Jalopnik.flv”, 506, 423,”"); 
Last week we showed you the runaway truck tire that destroyed a poor little Jetta, and without a police report, we could only speculate as to what really happened. Given the high interest, the intrepid TexasAreHot worked to track down more information. As most of you surmised, it was a trailer tire that went AWOL at high speed. But what was missing was an explanation for the curious angle at which said tire entered the dealership. The answer, and a picture of the poor car responsible, below the jump.
galleryPost(’vwjettatire’, 4, ‘That Will Buff Right Out Part One’); It turns out that the tire separated from the truck and then made contact with this very thrashed Camaro Z28, which acted as the perfect ramp with which to launch the tire into the dealership. That’s what’s happening just as the video begins. As far as we know, this is the extent of the damage from one seriously wicked (possibly possessed) tire.
