My mom practically pulled me out the door in the middle of eating dinner to go practice driving the manual Versa. She drove me to my school where I practiced driving it in the nearly empty parking lot. After a scary encounter on the street, I ended up driving all the way home with almost no prior knowledge before last night. Today was a decent day. |

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. |
