Some photos from yesterday's excitement

These magnetic ribbons were piled up next to a drive through car wash. I guess they don't hold on well when going through a touchless wash.

The wounded tire. You can see some of the sealant on the ground next to the tire. I hope the rim survived.

"Support bitching"?

I think the rim has a flat spot at 9 o'clock. If it's steel, they might be able to hammer it back into place. Might.

Yeah, my mechanic (well, Cindy's mechanic) will be able to repair the rim. We'll be getting new tires as well in the fall.

I was once told by a Car-wash Manager that it is not unusual for the car-wash track thing to pull one of the front tires off it's rim, but I can't see why it would happen to a rear wheel.

No, the tire was blown by a pothole. I only wash it by hand.
