Hi,
I hate unexpected emergencies.
I took a corner badly today and rammed my tire against the curb. When I got out to check, the tire had a bulge in the sidewall. That didn't look promising, but there was a tire place across the street. So we go over and they agree that it's probably not a good idea to try and drive back to Boston on it.
Luckily, they actually had a tire that would fit my car. I've got these ridiculous odd-sized tires and was afraid no place would have them on hand. But they had them. They were expensive (see, odd-size, hard-to-get sentence previous), but they were there and the tire was fixed in an hour and I feel better about driving home tomorrow.
It just sucks is all.
:(
