flat tire = hell

okay, so i have to go to my parents house today to help them put a lot of crap in storage (they are saleing the house) and when i go outside to my car, theres a flat tire...not a big i think

so i take off my overshirt and pop open the trunk, run inside and grab a handfull of tools

well my 12's are bolted down inside my trunk 'cause they were sliding around all over the place, so i spent 45 min trying to unbolt my damn 12's 'cause the screwdrivers i have are way too long and it was a REALLY tight squeeze....since i'm all pissed about my 12's taking so long i totally forgot about my amp thats mounted to the back of the 12's....so before i know it i'm ripping all kinds of wires outta my amp...this just pisses me off more, so i spend another 15 min taking my amp out

finally, i grab the spare and the tire iron..and when i go for the jack, its bolted to the frame my car, and the bolts are all undenieth the carpet in the trunk so i'm getting more pissed off

finally take the jack out...put it under the frame and start raising my car

since its a cheap *** jack it takes forever to lift my car, i get the tire off the ground, grab the tire iron and stick the iron onto the lug nut...BEFORE i can do a damn thing the car falls gently back to the ground

the god damn jack broke

needless to say, i've given up

Oh man, that sounds pretty crappy. There's always gonna be days like those. The day I get a flat it's gonna be hell too, cuz I don't have the wheel lock key to my wheels. The guy who sold me the car never gave me one. So until I find a wheel lock key, I'm praying to God I won't get a flat.

Drive the car over there on the flat and get a new set of rims.
