That's for sure. The (just finished) carport project involved 600
self-drilling screws. Possible with a drill but only with considerable
pressure. Stepson's Makita drill-driver was the cat's meow for these.

Take it to a decent tire shop and have them look it over. If you have
tread separation and you describe classic symptoms of exactly that, it is a
very dangerous thing that can and will cause loss of control and a serious
wreck. Do not mess around with it..
If the tread comes off the tire it will
Same. I would have expected it to suck air through the drain hole and start
dripping oil as soon as the vacuum dropped.
Also have heard that you can renew a crush washer by heating it with a
blowtorch and letting it cool slowly.

I guess you can buy the vinyl for maybe $500, the extra cost is in the
experience and tools to apply it without any gaps, wrinkles, or bubbles.
I think paint would be easier for a DIY than vinyl. I can barely put a sticker
on something without having a bubble.

No. It means that the insurance company paid off on a car rather than fix it.
