Red and I are MAD!!!!!

So yes,,we are kind of upset right now.Yesterday, the first day that I drove her to work guess what happenned? No,,not a wreck, but on the way home she got a flat tire. Lovely,,hmmm, so I have to get off the interstate and she limped into the service station right off the exit. And you know I was like,,,uh,,how do I get that little donut thingy tire thingy on my sweet Red? This is where Hubbys come in handy. But I sure did dread calling and saying "hey sweetie,,guess what?"

Uh yes,,you know how it is, don't ya? And then "what? on the first day you drove it to work?"

And then me "uh, yes, it wasn't my fault that the big semi truck sped up and wouldn't let me get on the interstate so I had to ride on the side a little till he passed me and so I probably picked up a nail or something" Then him "ok,,I will be right there",,,the knight to the rescue. And I did watch him jack up the car and take off the tire and put the little spare on it, so I am confident that I can handle it the next time.

Hubby says he doesn't want me driving all the way home on the little donut tire so we head over to Sears to get a new one. We get to Sears and they tells us "oh, we don't have any thing but the $81 one over there to fit it. Excuse me,,did you say $81 for one damn tire? Pluhhhhheezeee. But Daddy Bear says "go ahead and put it on". So the guy looks at the old tire and then the other tires on little Red and says "you mean you just bought that car from a dealer and they sold it to you with these tires on it? These tires have very little tread on them, you should call them and Bitch about them" So, I call the dealer only to be told that "our inspector that inspects all our cars before we re-sell them said that the tires were ok so we can't do any thing to help you". Now, I wasn't very happy. But Daddy Bear said to just forget because they knocked alot off the car and gave quite a bit for the old clunker. But still,,,that just ain't right.

I could have had a front one blow out and Red and I could have crashed and burned. Hmmmph

So this friday I am going to go get 3 more new tires for it so I will feel alot safer. I got something from Sears saying the tread was bad and I am going to get something from Firestone saying the same thing. Then I am going to mail them to the Nissan corporation and tell them what the dealership did. They might do something,,,who knows. Hmmmm, and I thought that Dealership was a pretty fair one, little do you know. So,,,lesson learned,,,make sure you check out the tires really well on used cars. But I still Love my "little Red",,,no matter if her tires are bad,,she's going to get some new shoes on friday!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
