I don't think this is a repost (if it is, I'm sure you all will let me know).

A buddy sent this to me. At about the 1 min (remaining) mark, a car hits a stalled car causing a flat...several seconds later the tire comes off the rim and then goes back on all by itself.

crazy.

Now if he can only get the bead seated and he'd have the opportunity for an exciting new business opportunity. Edwins drive by tire replacement.

I'm not sure the tire remounted though. It looks like it's still half sticking out of the fender.
