WHAT A DAY!!!

Okay, what a day! WHEW! So I'm a little overdue for a post, since I said I would do it weekly, buuut oh well :!! Well today was interesting to say the least. Here I was minding my own business, driving 205 Southbound, just about 5 seconds to my exit, and CRUNCH! I hear something rip into my tire... Aww $#*% is all I can think. So I quicky get on the off ramp, and immediatly hear this whooshing sound. Great... just great. And start feeling, thump, thump, thump. By the time I was to the top of the ramp my back drivers side tire was completely flat. I then slowly make my way to the 76 station right off the freeway and call my pops. He shows up about 20 minutes later, and we proceed to get the spare on until I can get it to Les Schwab (who by the way gave me 1/2 price since I just got these tires put on in December :D ) As you'll be able to tell from the pictures, the tire was completely unsalvageable. I'm pretty sure it was a license plate that I hit, and you can see it sliced right through my tire. PAIN IN THE ARSE is all I can say. I HATE car stuff. I swear I always have SOMETHING I have to do to this stinking truck. Anyways... here' are some pictures...


Here's my awesome dad (in his sweet hat :P ) to the rescue!



Flat as a pancake!!



The Giant tear/gash in the side( its easy to tell now why I literally heard the air rushing out of the tire while still driving)



Its a good thing I have an awesome dad who will drop whatever it is that he is doing to come help when I need him. Any of you who know my dad know what a stud he is :D He's always been the kind of man that anybody can call on, in any situation, and he'll be right there, to help however he can. What a great guy! Thanks pop, and I love you!
