Thumbs down You know what sucks?

Having a tire go flat.
And having it be unrepairable.
And having another tire be on it's wear bars.

...AND the expense from replacing the tires keeps me from buying an APR chip for myself for my birthday next weekend at Waterwagens.

No, what sucks is driving home and having someone run a red light, wrecking your knee, and chances are totaling the car you have worked 4 years to get it where you wanted it.

Sorry to hear about your flat, but count your blessings.

Yeah, your situation is worse. Now I feel like an ass for being a big crybaby about a flat. Sorry about you and your car.

I'd never feel better about anyone's car getting smashed up, especially one as nice as your NB.

Noooooooooo!!!!! Rob please tell me you're kidding.

I'm one who dosen't use a lot of 'colorful' language, but some of these Jacksonville, red light running- rolling though stop signs- swerving over 2 lanes at the last minute to turn, drivers are really pissing me off. Sadly, they do all of that to really go nowhere of importance.

I'm gonna stop because thinking of these idiots and what they might have done to Hobbes is really getting me mad.

Please, say it isn't so!


Now, a flat I can live with.

What sucks? Having the love of your life divorce you. Twenty two years, and now it's done. That, my dear, is what sucks.

What sucks is having cancer, and you can't do anything about it.

What sucks is having a house for sale, that you are selling for $40,000 less then you paid for it, to just get rid of it.

What sucks is always relative. And I think a flat tire sucks as much as my having cancer, or selling my house for a loss.

I think sometimes, we all have a sucky day. But we have a place we can bitch about it, and that does not suck.

At lease we can just bitch about it...

Getting dumped via text message sucks.

Having one tire nailed twice and screwed twice () sucks.

Suction cups suck.

Tire problems do sux. Sorry you are having them.

I know it's an old clique that your tires are the only part of your car that actually make contact with the road, but it's important to remember. That extra horsepower is less important than your ability to contol the car.

Put off the chip and invest in 4 quality tires and check the pressure often.

There have been times that cost REALLY hurt, but the importance of good tires cannot be emphasized enough.
