Default Why do bad things happen to good cars?

Ok, so after I got my car tuned I was very happy, I mean really really happy. Then I was going to have my only chance to race my car before I move to J-ville at the track envent...CANCELLED. Then after I get back and one of my 3 day old tires is flat, so I'm like wow this is awsome. then i take it to find out why it would hold air(this is the good part) my rim has a small crack in it and it leaks. So now I have to buy rims...but I ahve been trying to get some anyways....ok whatever. Then I am driving last night and my car just decided that it wants to have a really hard hesitation at 3200 RPM so I shut my car off to check it out and my fans didn't keep running like they usually do..Now I'm thinking to myself did I just buy a car off a lot on the corner of the road or something??? then the hesitation fixes itself., things are looking up. Then it starts again. Now it just does it when it feels like it. I love my car so much but sometimes brick walls look very tempting.
