Tires


Sakuya, you've been a pain in the butt this year.

Earlier this week, I got attacked by another nail - this time in my left rear tire (last time it was my right rear tire). Unluckily for me, this one was unrepairable since she got nailed in an unfixable spot. Though it's not as simple as to replace just one tire either. Apparently the tread on my other tires are wearing out anyways (I've been on the same OEM tires since I first got the car) so yeah, it was time.

After some phone mixed with internet research earlier today, I have my tire choices narrowed. I'll go get this over and done with tomorrow morning. Tire shopping is so stressful. Why are tires so expensive??! I think my parents will have to help me with this so I feel as though I should get a job to help pay it off a bit... and here I was hoping for a school-only year.

While on the topic of driving(ish): apparently the government is considering putting a toll on the Knight Street bridge to counter the money lost from granting transit passes to university students. Tell me the relation - oh wait there is none! They're just finding any excuse they can to take more money from us and this excuse sucks just as much as the additional levy the transit people are going to put on vehicle owners/drivers because they're not transit users (WUT!). If they need a bridge to toll, go build a new one and do it!
