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.
