Christmas gift for myself: a rim and a tire

Anyone who knows me would say, "WHAT?" when they read this title. Okay okay.. let me explain myself then. Friday afternoon, Dec 23, I was going home from shopping at Third St Promenade. I didn't get anything for myslef or for my boyfriend, but I did get a gift for my roommate. So I felt pretty good.

Anyway, I was on my way to the nearby Merc Dealer because my co-worker had told me that two of my tires were flat. Went there, told the dealer what the problem was, they told me: need to change your tire because it's torn. Apparently what caused this is driving through potholes on high speed.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????

"What??? It's a Merc.. What do you mean I couldn't drive fast over potholes?? What's the point of having a Merc then??" ----> my thought when the repair person told me I had burst the tire because of driving too fast over potholes.

ANYWAY.. since Kevin has been telling me to slow down when I am driving over potholes, I thought that I should just accept the fact and pay $220 for a new tire.

So I was waiting for them to put on the new tire on my car.. When the repair person came back and said that they couldn't change the tire because........... THE RIM IS CRACKED....

WHAT?????????????????????????????????????????????

What kind of funny joke is this????

Of course the rim is cracked because.. I drove too fast over potholes...

So.. another 270 bucks.. YAI....

There goes my christmas present. I have been meaning to buy me a great fabiola expensive gift.. well.. there it is : A TIRE AND A RIM..
