the WORST day of the F*CKING SEMESTER!

so much bad sh*t happened today, it's re****youlous!

1) i go to my class and there's a surprise pop quiz...i knew NOTHING, NOTHING!

2) a mysterious package arrives at the front of the building my class was in. We had to evacuate in fear it may be a bomb. I'm hoping we finish class.

3) HOMO teacher moves us to another building where we continue class...the greedy f*ck

4)It rain's like a Biznitch and water is like half way up my chrome rims...who knows what damage is going down there

5)*WORST OF ALL* I hit this Humongous hole (looks like someone removed sewer cap or something) the worst thump i have ever heard in my car...in the middle of the vicious rain (those living in northern new jersey understand what we went through today around 6:00).

6) I get out my car to check the damage and my freaking tire if flat. Now this isn't no ordinary Good year, firestone tire. This is them aftermarket high performance u can say tires that go with rims. Cost millions ($100's to be exact). Now i have to ride my car a block home on a messed up tire killing my rims.

7) I try to call out for work since i'll make it by like 8:00 latest and we close at 9. The b*tch says she needs me to come in. HOE HOE HOE!!! I come in, 3 nice looking rims and tires and an ugly donut killing my alignment and all that's down there.

Now i gotta go to my mechanic to see if he can fix this prob but if the air comes out like that, either my wheel is bent ( i pray to GOD it's not!) or i have a massive hole stretching on the side which is bad also. I hope it's some small hole up top that got away but my luck stinks. I'm so mad, and sad at the same time. What options do i have from here?

1) go to my shop where i got my rims and get new tire?
2) go to mechanic and let him see problem and let him patch up tire if possible?
3) if wheel bent, is it possible to bend it back in place? cause these rims cost me a good 3 to 400 a piece...yea i probably got jipped but when u see pics coming soon, you'll say it's hot as hezell and unique...only seen 2 people with these rims in my life time. and no one on the net.

Such a f*cked up day...trying to save for conversion and more and more f*CKED up sh*t keeps happening...like this is a sign to stop me from doing conversion or something. DAM MY LUCK, DAM MY LUCK TO HELL

If the side of the tire is bulging out, it sounds like you've just got a bubble in it. Either that or there's a hole in the sidewall. Either way the tire needs to be replaced (any sidewall damage is fatal to a tire) but that alone shouldn't dent the rim. Good luck.

sorry to hear that bro

I know what you're talking about with that rain that we had yesterday.

At least you never hit a curb doing 60 causing serious suspension damage.

Good luck with you're rim and stuff.

Hey, I dented a rim running over one of those chock blocks (the triangles) left by a city bus in the middle of the road. My head hit the ceiling when I hit the bump! Didn't find out until next morning I bent the rim. Two weeks later I finally got a new rim from Tirerack (almost didn't get it since it was discontinued!), alignment, and everything is fine. It's only a dented rim, flat tire...don't worry about it. At least you didn't wreck your car. Things could be worse.

Speaking of surprise quizzes, I used to spring them all the time I was a TA for an Advanced Genetics class. Loved the look on the confused students faces. I was an easy grader though, everyone in the class got an A.

Are you talking about the Peanut butter/jelly song?


mecca, when I was in NY for summer vacation last year, There was a terrible rain one day, and While driving on the Belt PW, there was a damn sewer drain open, and it was like the size of a tire sitting parallel to the street, that was ridiculous! Good thing we messed it!

Hahah can't get any worse! Keep telling yourself that. Believe me it can get worse. My car got all f*cked up in a tornado in College Park, MD late last year. A couple weeks later a guy backs into me in a parking lot (before its fixed), then while the car is in the body shop, rims stereo battery and airbags all get stolen. Believe me, it can get worse.

bummer, sorry to hear about your luck, i no that in some cases rims can be bent back to near perfect condition, but what about scratches? i backed into what must have been a f*cking monster of a curb cause my rim is thrashed!, well its not as bad as it sounds but it looks really bad to me,,, you no what i mean right, all max owners should. so what do you think can i get repairs or something, i really dont wanna blow another 3 bills on a new rim if i dont have to.

**UPDATE**

good news is that the rim wasn't bent but i checked rim this morning and there was a big gash on tire on the side, so it couldn't be fixed. Also, my rim has an evil dent on it. it's small and hardly noticeable but definitely makes that rim imperfect in my eyes, i'll take a pic of it tomorrow and when i get film developed, i'll let all of u see it.

Bad news, tire and changing costed me 185 with tax which sucks...that's a Cold Air intake right there! sh*t and the tire he gave me, the threading is old so he gave me same wit new threading but but rotated side tires (passanger side and behind passanger) so the threading won't **** up alignment...if that's even possible....but everything is back to normal...just a little poorer now....sucks but oh well....on to bigger things....
