Well i just got home! Man o man was it a trip, on my way down to ATL at 8:00pm, 1 mile near Williamsburg KY, 10 miles from TENN border i blew a right front tire. I had no spare, i had no key for the lug nut, and i had no jack. I called Honda Road side and they had a toe truck come which took an hour, and it started pouring at that time too. We thought it may have just jumped off the bead and just needed air, but when he put air into it the gas no bigger than then end of your pinky showed up. The paint on the very top of my wheel rubbed off and i was pissed about that. Well 2 hour and 30 min into all this a Sheriff finally shows and up and the toe truck takes off cause my car was too low to tow. The sheriff calls a flat bed roll back truck to come get me and then he takes off. So here i am sitting in the dark with my battery going dead and my flashers aren't working anymore cause i've had them on and my headlights on for almost 3 hours now. Finally the roll back comes and we have to load up the car. Using boards we loaded her up. He took up 1 mile up the road to some shitty *** hotel where we had to stay the night. No one could remove the wheel cause they didn't have impact wrenches to get the lock lug off. So i call my mom and she comes the next day, 4 hours away to bring me my jack, key, and my stock tire. It takes me 45 minutes to change the tire cause it was so hard to jack up with my car being so low. We take off for ATL and GIXXER was already down at Nopi and bought me my tire there for $90, which was a steal. I finally get to ATL and my hotel at about 9 saturday night and check in. We meet up with everyone at the Varsity and it was awesome. Sunday i take my **** to Wal-Mart cause i was told they will mount the tire for really cheap and they're open. But i get there and they couldn't, i take my **** to Tires Plus and here this deaf guy attempts to mount my tire and he wasn't being patience and was rushing ****. He scratched my wheel and i F*ckin go off on everyone. He finally gets the tires balanced and mounted and i tell the shop i'm not paying and i was gonna have them pay for my wheel they just f*cking messed up. Well they don't charge me and they are either paying for a new wheel or for mine to be fixed.
WOW WHAT A F*CKING WEEKEND.

I take my truck... it sucks gas, but at least it makes it there.
