:egads: Im having a terrible year so far. To sum it up, I loose a sideskirt, I loose $320 in vegas, I miss my calc ll midterm which forces me to drop the class, I get a speeding ticket, I get another ticket for carpool violation, my friend curb checks one of my rims and about 2 hours ago, I get a flat.

It was about 3am when I got the flat and I was in LA. It was raining HARD and about 30 degrees outside. At first I try to use the fix a flat, but it just seeps out of the bead of the tire. My car is too low to put the stock jack under the car so I have to drive about a mile so I could drive my car up a driveway to fit the jack under there. So I grab my spare and what do you know... its also FLAT. So I put the spare on and drive to the nearest gas station and the air/water machine does not work. So I end up driving another block to finally find a gas station to fill that spare. By this time, Im soaking wet and dead tired. All my friends in LA/OC are asleep so I get to drive home 2 hours in soaking wet clothes. Im not a happy camper. I know things could be worse and things will just get better blah blah blah, but damn, it just sucks.

At least you didn't get hit up and have your stock rims spraypainted. I used paint remover on that crap and accidentally ate away some of the original silver paint. It looks like that I will be getting some 18's sometime soon.

And yes. I really do hate this rain that we're having. I hate rain. Period.
