swingchickie...and his name is "large freaking piece of metal sticking out of my tire".
yup, the "6/6/6" date that everyone's been joking about today, seems to have taken out its wrath on poor vinnie. on the way to work this morning, i made a left turn, and as i straightened out of the turn the car started thumping. hrm. i pulled into a parking lot, got out and checked all 4 tires... nothing. so i pulled into a parking spot to look again, and there it was: a big piece of metal debris jutting almost 2 inches out of my front right tire. poor vinnie was so awesome, that tire stayed bravely inflated despite the pain... but after i called AAA for service, i checked again, and the tire had finally gone flat, with a sad, quiet little "sssssssss" sound coming out of it. he just looked so defeated. *weep*
so, vinnie's now in the shop getting a brand new tire (lovely timing, with my closing costs 3 weeks away). let's see what else can go wrong today... bah...
