So, you know our new, little car? It got a flat tire. There was a giant nail thing in it. Usually this wouldn't seem like such a big deal. But, it just so happens that the company who made the tires on our car went bankrupt. It's a 2008 and we've only had it for a month. What are the odds? Anywho, not only did they go bankrupt, but the tire for this kind of car is pretty unique. Why? I dunno. No tire companies seem to be able to get ahold of these tires because of all this. What does this mean? It means we'd have to buy TWO tires to replace the one, because they would have to be different size than the original, and you can't have the two back tires being different sizes. But even just finding normal 15" tires seemed to be a hassle in itself.
Jordan ended up driving here via the old highway (because on a spare, you can't go over 80 kilometers) and then took it into the dealership the next day. He said it was ridiculous that we've only had this car for a month and it's causing us these hassles etc.. They agreed and fixed it. We only had to pay for one tire :) So instead of like $500, he only had to pay $200.
So that's done with. Yay!
Where the hell did August go?
The floor guys finally set dates to come put the floors in. September 3-5th. So yay! Jordan gets to finally move in soon.
stressed out,
