New Car, Same Old Problems

Today's treat: A New Tire! For the low cost of $152.00, I have a new rear tire to replace the one that had a nail stuck in it. It was too close to the edge to be plugged. How convenient.

While I was feeling frustrated and disappointed, one of the nice ladies who works in Service said: "Just think, you're lucky it wasn't an older tire. If it was worn down a lot, you'd have to get two new tires to make sure the car was balanced."

Every cloud has a silver lining.

The black lining inside the silver lining is for the service guy who wasn't careful enough to not get black stuff scraped onto my rim when either removing or replacing the wheel onto the car. 10 points for carelessness. I used a mitten I bought on clearance from Target to wipe off as much as I could. I actually think there's a scuff but I just didn't feel like putting up a stink. I had to pee, so I just had to get out of there.
