Deng dude, thats a big key. I wonder how it got in there like that?? I'd be suspicious..I'd be looking over at VJ RC51's direction! AHaha nah Im just kidding. Stuff like this has happened to me like twice. Both after I had finished working on my car. I keep forgetting to pick up all the bolts off the ground before I drive out. Nice kill.

yea, i was parked in the garage all night though. then i left this morning and came back. i must have picked it up when i was pulling out of the garage at about 4. i thought i heard something so i stopped after about 30 ft., and sure enough, it was flat. backed it into the garage again and put on the old spare.
