Default Very good news

Woke up this morning. Started the car to let it warm up, went and put my shoes on. Get in the car to leave, usually I let the parking brake down and it coasts down the driveway. It didn't move. I just figured the brakes were slightly stuck. So as I turn the wheels pulling out, I hear a cruuuunch. "oh, something is just underneath the car". I look, nothing. On my way back to the drivers door, there it lays. A flat tire. A flat tire with a bent rim, scraping my driveway. Awesome. Flat broke, can't even afford a replacement tire. Its funny, just the other day a few people told me that tire looked low, so I checked it and it was perfectly aired up. So, my car will sit for three months because at this point I can't even afford my bills. I will have my gf take me to work, and hitch a ride with a co-worker home. I love when shit like this happens. The end.

hm... somebody needs to beat you over the head with a plank, inscribed "you'll never make anything good happen by focusing on something negative".

Once you get the bleeding under control, read some financial books for that cashflow problem.

Now, what to do about the car:

I can get you a good condition tire very cheaply; call me.

Regarding the condition of the rim... post a picture.

I know man, but don't waste time complaining about it... You're only going to make things worse.

Just focus on makin' it right!

+1...I'm sure you know this already, but if you need to replace one tire on an AWD you should replace the one on the other side to prevent probs in the future, you should never replace just one tire...you've put too much money, time and effort in that thing to just half ass it so do it right...and are you able to take it to PEP BOYS to see if it's patchable for temp fix.
