Jesus Christ. Jim just called me because he just spun across three lanes of freeway traffic and is in a ditch. Thankfully he isn't hurt and no one else is either because people were actually driving properly for once. No one even hit him.
His tires have been completely bald for about a year now. Nice, huh? When we had the money to do it he procrastinated. Then he kept saying "Oh, I'll do it X." "I'll do it on Y." We got dumped on with snow and ice last night and it took him 90 minutes to get home and he was sliding all over then and was going very, very slowly.
He's not generally a careful driver and he can be vengeful also, which always worries me. He drives pretty far to work everyday so I always have a worry during his morning and evening commutes.
I told him on the phone he is getting his tires replaced this weekend no questions asked. It can go on the credit card until we get our tax return. Of course I am beyond grateful that he isn't harmed, but I hope to god he doesn't have any damage to his car from landing in a ditch.
