And the bad luck continues...

Today I was driving home from McMaster after dropping off my cousin and I was on my way onto the highway when this biker honked his horn at me.

I think he was trying to start some **** but I rolled down my window and he told me how my left rear tire was blown

So I pulled off the tire and got it done. Now I'm on a spare which I'm worried will blow too.

Now I gotta set back my alarm installation which sets back my system installation, which in result also sets back the money I'm supposed to save to get a paint job so I can fully cover up all the scratches that were done by some ******* who decided to key my car.

Man, I have the worst luck in the world. Feels like God is punishing me

you should always save more then you need cuz something always comes up. for example: all i wanted to do one sunny afternoon was put anti-squeel compound on my front brake pads. What happened? well one of my lug nuts was torqued way too high and it snapped the stud...after that i was so pissed that i took off the bleeder screw instead of the caliper screw...result: $180 repair at crappy tire (dont trust myself bleeding brakes).

Uhhh. I think you should be looking at it the other way..

Be happy you didn't die with that blown tire.. otherwise you wouldn't have had a car to worry about.. If your car is your major worry then boy do you have it good...

Be an optimist and maybe things will turn around..

It can't really be that bad. Lighten up and be cheerful. Imagine if that biker didn't tell you? It may result in a bigger trouble.

Yes, he could've thought that the biker was *really* starting **** so he ran him off the road so not only did he still have a blown tire, he was also charged with reckless driving.

**** happens, but it's just a small thing, whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

on a side note what are your tire pressures at? if it took another driver to inform you that you had a blow out then maybe they were too low....

hehehehe thats nothing dude... the government stopped (for no reason) my loan payments without me noticing and I became 3 months over due.... 500 bucks later everything is ok.... now thats the real benefit of an emergency fund... but it also covers un expected car damage

jesus that is some bad luck, my friend did that 10 mins before someone was coming to look at his car to buy it, he already put a downpayment, 10 mins b4 the guy got there he couldnt find the key, he left it in the ignition, rofl wut a moron, he ended up having to spend 200 bux for a locksmith to come and make him a new key, he was so pissed off, i just laughed cause hes a moron lol

ne ways u are lucky u didnt like spin out and crash into a ditch or guardraile or even worse someone else, so just be glad u came out alive and safe, sure it costed a shitload of money u dont really have to spare, but u have ur life and thats more important than a car.

Heh maybe you guys are right. Things could've been a lot worse.

So I told my parents about it and they decided to grab the car and replace the tires without me having to pay a cent which is cool. But I feel bad about it (no I'm not a spoiled rich kid. I've had to work my whole life for things) but they decided that since if I'm not at school, I'm working, which means they want me to spend the money on things that'll keep me happy instead of working and getting stressed out cause I know that the paycheck is gonna go towards tires that freakishly blown.

Yeah I got cool parents but I'm probably gonna end up paying them back for it anyways.
