...a flat tire. It's the first night under 10 degrees and my right front tire decides it doesn't want to hold air. Good thing I was so mad I couldn't feel the cold.

Wow, that sucks. Is it a puncture or just a leak?

I don't know, and honestly, I don't care. It's in one of my old tires. I bought new tires about 2 weeks ago. I haven't had the time to get them on yet. They'll be going on this Saturday so I'll just drive around on the spare until then.

Sh*t, I'd much rather have an issue during a record heat wave. I've gone like 3 summers now with no working air in my daily drivers, the Jimmy included. I got the air fixed on it during the tail end of summer, but I'm pretty sure the compressor isn't working now because it's not coming on with the defroster. Oh well.

funny how things like this can get you off your butt and do something you've been putting off. I've delayed putting on my light strip and then bam, I get rearended. Well now that I got a shiny new bumper I might as well.

Good luck with the cold, I know how you feel. Pretty damn cold here in Pa

Wow, horrible luck. I got a flat tire on the same night. Came outside after work and there it is, sitting on the rim.

It was -32 Celsius and let me tell ya, I could feel the cold.

The tire was all cracked and worn on the inside. I had just filled them up a week ago too, so now I went out and bought 4 new ones.

I'm pretty sure my issue is/was a dry rot issue. I've got new tires sitting in the garage right now, I just haven't had the time/money to take it somewhere to get them put on. Now I'm riding on my spare and 3 dried out tires. Hopefully I don't get another flat...
