Mounting tires is a pain in the richard. I spent three hours removing my regular tires from their rims and mounting snow tires this morning. Funny thing is I have a job working in a race shop and mount tires on a regular basis. Street car tires are A LOT tougher. I usually have two sets of rims for each set of tires but haven't gotten to that since I got a new car over the summer.

Three hours? Why didn't you just take them somewhere? At the shop I work at we can have them done in a half hour.

I think the front end looks good. The rear end though..

^ the other one

I think I fell asleep a little and hit her. I guess I just got really unlucky, cus I wasn't even nodding off before, and there were hardly any other cars around :(
luckily we were only like 30 minutes from home so my mom's boyfriend was able to come pick my mom and I up. it could've been a lot worse in that regard, cus it was during an 8-hour-long drive
I think it also could've been a lot worse of an accident considering we were on the interstate and all. but nobody got really hurt and the damage to the cars wasn't too bad

That sucks! What happened? Did she slow down and you just didn't notice?

I don't understand how to have fun in the enormous online servers like Prison ones and whatnot. Either I just don't understand what to do or I just don't think it's fun. :s

Wait, did they forget to put the lugnuts back on or just didn't tighten them?

I'm assuming he just didn't tighten them properly if at all. He still had them when the truck came into the shop though, so I couldn't say for sure.

I have a hard time believing that would happen just because they tried drifting lol. That also looks like an entirely inappropriate place to try drifting.

We had a truck come in to the shop yesterday and the owner had just installed new upper control arms in it, and after he put the wheels back on and went out for a test drive, one of the wheels overtook the truck.

Remember kids. Lugnuts are important.

Also tomorrow it's supposed to snow quite a bit. Looks like the Dart will be put in the garage for a while so she doesn't rust, and I got my meaty forgetin' snow tires on my Malibu. Things are monsters...
