Actually, I've been keeping an eye on her tires. Before this issue, when I last checked, they were all equally low, which I attributed to the change from crazy hot to mild weather. When I noticed the left front tire looking low after a few weeks, I checked it and it was 20 psi down!!! Other three were fine. I aired it up and kept it in mind to check it again that night. Well, she drove 100 miles that day and it was down 10 psi when she got home that night. That's when I knew it was a problem and took it off the road.
However, running into that boulder in the yard is not something any kind of maintenance could have prevented. I could have been blindfolded, backed it straight out of the garage and not come close to that rock. Even if I had, I'd have not gunned it enought to move the rock like she did. I couldn't believe my eyes when I went out to look at it. She's due home any minute now.
