So I leave for work. I notice a vibration. Think nothing of it. Maybe snow is falling off or something. It got so bad I pulled over. Tire was destroyed. I mean shredded; falling off the wheel. The wheel itself mushroomed on the lip. It was toast. Now that needed replacing. I'm only about 4 miles away from home so I tried to baby it back. At this point I'm late for work.
My low beams suck, so at the last moment I see my hubcap in the road. I slammed on the brakes and swerved to avoid it, and ended up in the ditch going about 5-10mph. I tried to back out, but made it nowhere. So I look for my phone, and I'll be a son of a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro if I forgot it at home. Mind you it's 6:50 am and I have to be to work at 7:30 and it's about an hour to get there and I'm running late as it is. So the only option? Walk all the way home in the freezing cold. I got home, huffing and puffing and couldn't breathe after running/walking. At this point I'm flipping out, dropping ever curse word in the books. I asked my mom to take her car, not thinking she had to work today (she works when she wants). Not happening. I called work to tell them I was going to be late, no answer. Figures. I called my buddy, and thank god he answered to save my ass from getting bitched out.
Called my dad; no answer. Of course. Called my gramps. Thank god he came out and pulled me out of the ditch. I went to put the donut on and the cable was seized so I spent an hour trying to get it off. I finally swapped the tire and go to leave and my god damn battery died from my 4 ways being on and being stressed I left the heater and lights on too. Jumped it with a mini portable jump box and started going down the road. 2-3 miles later it starts vibrating again. What. The ***. So I pull over the the effing donut is flat. I babied it to a local gas station to put air in it. Come to find out the air pump was out of order. I'm livid at this point. Theres a shop down the street. Luckily I managed to make it there and get some air.
Meanwhile everyones calling all the junkyards and stuff for me looking for a wheel and tire. I managed to make it to a tire shop and my some miracle they had a wheel. My dad knew the guys working their so they gave me a deal. $15 for a wheel and a decent price on a new tire. I finally got it back on the road and went to work and got 4 hours in. And then had to fix my dipped wheels because they were shredded :/
It just wasn't my day today. Luckily my boss was totally cool about it and wanted me to take the day off but I argued with him about coming in. I went anyway.
