Arrgh! Stupid Car!

[StrongBad]

On my way to work this morning I just got the second flat tire within a span of three weeks. With school starting and me already blowing 400+ bucks on books, I really don't feel like shelling out some additional cash for my dumb car.

This post really has no point but to vent some frustration. Thanks for listening anyway!

1. Look on the bright side ...

The tire's only flat on the bottom.

3. and with rising gas prices ....

think of the money you'll save by not being able to drive.

2. Hmmm

Forgive me for not being able to take much comfort from such a saying :)

4. Fix a flat

usually under $5/can. Read directions carefully.
Station can plug a small hole fairly cheaply.
Junk yards have scores of good used tires, depending on size, for $15/pc and up. You'll end up paying someone another $10-15 to mount and balance. You could replace the 2 for around $60+/-
Buys you some time.

good luck

6. Those used tires can last a long time

particularly if you stick to in town, non-high speed driving. Those kind of stop-gap soultions got me through some prety lean college aged years. Getting the flat fixed is about 6 to 8 bucks locally, don't know what its like where you are.

Its a bummer though, I know.
