Have you ever had to abandon your car by the side of the highway? What's the story?

Pulled into JFK stadium in Philly.summer of '78 Rolling Stones concert(incredible show by the way) ,and the damn tire blew out.By some really oddball chance I ran into some friends from my neighborhood,they had a spare that fit my car.cool.not cool.I pulled out of the stadium late that night and the borrowed tire exploded just below Trenton.So I called little brother to come and get me.I left the car sitting on the side of I-95,The next morning we drove back down there with a spare tire,okay.I put the good tire on and yup,the battery was dead,I jumped the car got it home,went back to bed,woke up the next day,got drunk for 4 days and sold the piece of crap for scrap metal,bought more booze with the money.

what kind of car was it? Sounds as bad as my worst car, a 61 corvair, I hated that car.

Went back and dug it our the next morning, thank god the plows went around it and not through it.
