Double Flat
Double Flat
Originally uploaded by curlytop Both rear tires gave out on me on one of the coldest days in Detroit. It was a nagging 5 degrees Fahrenheit when I tried to pump some air at the corner gas station. The freaking tire cap wouldn't even budge off of the thing-a-ma-jig tire bulb. So I drove back to work with my rear tire rims kissing the road. I should have went straight to the service center but I would rather finish work first than deal with the flat, which I know would take much longer to fix.
After work, I drove to Sears hoping for a quick and inexpensive solution. Unfortunately, the mechanic told me that tires were already DOA. So I had to shell out $400.80 for a set of new tires. Good thing they were on sale for $56 a piece. But why pay $400+? Well, I was charged for all the other services - installation, disposal of old tires and lifetime tire guarantee. I guess it was alright, considering that I will be keeping my Toyota Camry named Henry for another 2, possibly 3 more years. Come November of this year, he'll be mine. All mine and paid off.
