venting
Thursday, Jul. 28, 2005
I got a tad pissed off today.
I had a minor incident in my car yesterday and it has cost me a few dollars today.
Let me explain, well you weren't going to stop me anyway were you?
I had picked up my car earlier that afternoon after having the exhaust work done (major dollars dropped there too) and headed home to have some lunch on my day off. I needed to check my mailbox at the post office, so I headed out again. On the way over the intersection another car decided to cling to my rear even though I was indicating to turn into the car park. I had to make a sudden turn into the driveway, and as this was happening, my front left wheel hit the bit where the kerb ends and the driveway starts. I heard a rather loud thud which was even felt through the steering wheel. I put it down to just another scrape on the tyre and proceeded to pull into the car park. I got out of the car and went to inspect the damage and found a flap of rubber on the side wall of the tyre about 1 1/2 inches long with a rather large gouge into the side wall.
After some discussion and thinking today, I came to the conclusion that the tyre was far too unsafe to drive on at speed so took it to the tyre shop this afternoon.
Cough, $310, cough later I was heading home. One bloody tyre!
Okay, have vented again. Sorry Kiwi if you copped some mackamadness before, it was just after i got home and all.
Well
