So...I got my tires rotated today right? I changed lanes a couple times down the road and the car seemed to wobble a little bit. Not bad, and I thought it was mostly just my driving.
Well, 2 more miles and two stoners in a new Neon pull up (had already flicked me off twice for unknown reasons) Well the passenger says "Hey man, you got your grandma's car?!" "Better than your 4 banger" I return. We're both at the top of the light and I try to do a burn-out. "FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP" I felt REALLY stupid, I could hear them laughing. We pull off into a neighborhood, slit in the tire...GAH I felt stupid! At least we were only 3 or 4 miles from the tire place at this point. When we pulled the flat off...the tire and the lug nuts felt really warm, pretty much hot, compared to the other tires. I think they didn't screw some nuts on all the way (the guy working was missing one or two of his I think) which caused the tire to wobble in place, and me running up on a curb earlier slit the p.o.s. Just needed the pressure of me trying to burn out to blow it out.
They aggreed and gave me a new tire for free! (minus $14 for insurance if it happens again). It was cool in the end...but I wish it would have happened at another time :lol:
BTW, it felt kind of good for me and my bud to change the tires, whereas my friend Sara commented "yup, need some big strong guys to do the dirty work"
:up:
