[Igovert500]

Ok, so I just had to complain to someone...As some of you may or maynot know, One of my rims got a huge dent in it and the nobody would mount a tire onto it for me. So, I am in the process of looking for a new one...unfortunantly I am broke, so I was looking for one for a cheaper price. Being that I could only find them for around 400+. Long story short, my aunt lends me some money, but not soon enough. Spring break started yesterday, so I needed to drive the 190 miles home from college. I would have taken the bus, but I need my car down here for emergencies and to get to work, so I can make some money and pay her back. Anyway, so it came down to me driving home on the full size doughnut POS skinny spare tire we have. Well this had already been used before...as I have had a few flat tires due to bad alignment, so it already had about 70 miles on it. Well last night we start the adventure, only going 50mph. Every highway had 65mph speed limits. So I am driving my vr4 home with cruise control set at 50, listening intently to any noise produced by my spare, with my emergency flashers on, getting past by EVERYTHING(i mean buses, minivans, 18-wheelers...everything) I pulled over every 40 miles or so to check the wear on the spare. Well to keep this short, I did make it, the spare looks fine, I know this wasn't the best for my AWD, but I really didn't have any options...but yeah, the spare made it and now has 250-300 miles on it in total and still has tread (do I now hold some new record...?). Only problem was that the ride which usually takes 2 hours and 20 mins took 4 and a half hours. IT SUCKED! I was always so tempted to drop it into 3rd and just get on the gas, as I havn't had the opportunity to since january. I miss that in your seat feeling of WOT so bad!
