Flat tire. Fucking sucks. I think my last flat tire was about 10 years ago.

I was at a party today - had a pretty good time - but left a couple hours later than I really wanted to - was looking forward to a quiet evening... *sigh*

But a good time - I even got to talk to a friend I haven't seen in a while who used to perform with Frank Zappa and got to catch up on what all his old band members are up to today...

Feeling good - even though I left late... looking forward to getting home cooking dinner... having a couple drinks and relaxing.

Fucking flat tire. Well I did have a spare, managed to change it and get home. Could have been worse... could have been in an accident.

But damn - it spoiled my mood.

Downed a couple Maker's Mark already... dinner is almost ready...

Soon I'm going to get online on Unreal Tournament and fucking frag shit.
 
Blech. Car trouble sucks. Kill some things online and feel better. :rose:
 
hey dilly. I miss you.:kiss:

bummer about the tire. I would have taken your mind off of it.:D

I hate flat tires too. They always come when you don't need them too and never appear when you really want them.. unpredictable creatures!!:mad:



btw: That is my favorite avy... puts me in the mind of fucking the first stranger that I come across.

Shivers and pours another glass of wine.

Glad you like the AV - its one of my favorites...
 
Yeah flat tires suck. Every car I buy from now on that does not come with runflats is getting the run flat conversion.

Damn straight it does. Soon as I'm done with dinner I'm going to frag some people online, big time.

I miss you too... and keep that thought in mind for October.

Its unusual to get a flat these days. Especially sucks since I'm going to by a new car soon.

Was going to go low end small... but now I'm thinking Lexus or BMW. What the fuck. BMW parts are really expensive though.
 
*Hug/butt grope/hug*

Glad it wasn't worse. Have you read that "Things aren't always what they seem" thread? You could've been on your way to a pile-up. Be thankful for that flat tire.

;) :)

that reminds me, how long are you staying? some people have requested we hold it on the 12th instead of the 11th, that way, those who work friday can travel to be there.

My my! Thank you!

I haven't seen that - but yes, it could easily have turned into a nasty accident - it was a complete blow-out - the tire is shredded. My second close call this year (the other was this winter in the snow).

Right now it doesn't look like I can make 12th... my last night there will be Friday the 11th - but I'll work on it.

The cooper S <------------------ is made by BMW and starts at only 19,800.


It also comes with run flats standard. :D

BMW parts being expensive is kind of a myth. If you buy them directly through a dealer then yeah they are going to be outrageous but that is true of any car.

Many parts can be bought through the aftermarket and will much cheaper then parts bought through the dealer. They may still be slightly more expensive then domestic car parts because many times they must be shipped from Europe. As more and more companies start building factories in North America though, like Mercedes did in Alabama, it will force the prices to fall some.

Another thing to consider is that BMW parts are frankly built to a much higher standard then any domestic car part will ever be built to. They break less often but when they do break you are going to have to pay a little more for the premium parts.
 
Well - that's the thing about Lexus. Turns out that you can get replacement parts at any Toyota dealer at pretty reasonable prices. And the Lexus have very nice stereo systems.

But sure would be cool to own a Beamer.

Maybe I should just go for a Mercedes Benz... or is that too pretentious?

How about a Porsche?

Thumbs up to the Porsche. The absolute definition of a midlife crisis car :D

I want to own a late 60's early 70's 911 sometime in my life.

I have never like Mercedes for some reason. They build good quality cars but they don't seem like cars that want to be driven. I want a driving car not a cruising one.

I need to plan a meeting down South.

Yay! I'm such a helper, and all. ;)
