FYI, guys... they do make a patch now that will handle the sidewall. Not many shops have it (very few even know about it) as it only came out a few years back. I was getting a patch done on my S while in central Florida in late 2006. The guy said he had just attended a training session and the company provided them with a kit to do sidewalls... he said everyone in his team said 'no way' it would work, but they used a nail gun to repeatedly puncture a truck's sidewall, and then patched each one. something about the material the plug was made of combined with its shape allowed it to stay put and keep air in.
Granted, I'm not saying I'd put it in the sidewall of a Z-rated tire and try to drive 130 mph for two hours on the highway, I'm just saying it does exist and it's an option.
