Default Crazy Weekend

stranded on the side of the freeway from 4-5 am as trucks and cars come flying by at 90-100mph.

couldn't change the tire myself because the car was about 2 feet from the road, was on an small incline, the factory jack is tiny so it would probly tip over if a big truck came by, it was freezing. so 140 dollars and 1 hour wait later for the tow guy to get to where we were and a 30 min change we were on the road again. he had to park his tow truck half way onto the first lane so that cars wouldn't hit him.

you should all check your spare tires. our car is very old and the spare tire is a piece of crap. i had to drive 200 miles at only 60mph(was freakin boring and made me fall asleep) because the spare tire was so cheap. here's a picture of it.

Sad thing is you don't pay attention to your car anymore.

Car modding is on the lower end of my list. i would much rather spend money on materialistic things and enjoy it. also i love traveling and going new places so those cost a lot. this trip would have cost a bit more than 500 if it weren't for the casino winnings. also my funds are on lockdown right now for the next month or so. when i go to new york this saturday for 2 weeks i'm planning on doing lots of shoppings. lol.

triple aaa will either come change your spare tire for you or tow you to a shop right? but more than likely a shop won't have a 19 inch tire in stock for you. i would throw in a spare tire if your going more than 100+ miles from home.
