Wrong Car, Write Girl

I was sitting in the parking lot of a grocery store that day it was raining here this week, while my mother shopped. I see my car, but a nicer one, parkpretty close to where I am. Here tail fin is better. It was lower. Mine is high and in the way of my view; there are so many blind spots on my car. Then I noticed a cute young hispanic girl get out and go into the store. A few Beatles' songs later and I notice a figure walk behind my car and to the driver door. Is that my mom? Nope! It is the girl from the other red Celica. She tries the key, but it doesn't work. She becomes dazed and confused. She looks around. I tap on the window and point to her car. She looks at me like, what the hell are you doing in my car before realizing that it wasn't her car. I roll down my window, glad I have an excuse to talk to her, and say something which I do not recall at this time. She replies, "and I had to do it while someone was in the car." Sucks for her, but I'm glad she did. It was quite entertaining.

A Flat

As the title may suggest, I had a flat tire. A week or two ago, when I left school after lunch--I only have four periods--I get in my car and start driving, and I noticed that the tire was flat, real flat. I pull over and try to fix it. This did not work too well. That thing was on damn tight! Luckily, my neighbor is also a loser senior who parks in the pack of the school. Also luckily he saw me and pulled over next to me. After three of us gave it our best, even standing on the cursed thing, he just drove me home. After a nap, my dad came home and took me back to take it off. He barely got it off. But the trouble doesn't end here folks. OH no!

We finally take it in to be fixed, and no one can fix it because the rim is bent. Also, the rims are made for high profile tires, which cost much more than normal tires. We finally find someone who was willing to fix the rim for us, and had cheap high-profile tires to sell us. However, we still spent $400.

On a brighter side, once we were able to get my car smogg-tested, since we couldn't do it with the spare on, IT PASSED!

On the downside again, the weather stripping was falling off, but I think we may have it stuck in properly this time.
