This morning I was running a little late for work. oh well. I was on the street and started hearing a clicking sound that sped up or slowed down with my speed changes. I was a bit worried but my car seemed to be fine. I supposed I got something stuck in a wheel or something. I could hear it coming from the back right. I got on the freeway and went for a while, the clicking stopped all of a sudden and there was the sound of something hitting my car. So I figured whatever it was came out. I was going further and started noticing my car was getting really loud, like I was a stupid kid and a tiny asian 4 cylinder. I started to get worried then. I had a car once where the tailpipe fell off. I figured oh great my whole muffler came off. I drove on and started to smell something, I got over a lane. started seeing smoke…I got in the slow lane. heard an explosion and saw debris flying everywhere behind me…….stopped in the emergency lane. I proceeded to change my blown-out tire in the bitter cold. It was not fun.

The tires were waranteed at sam’s, so I got my mom to fax me the receipt and such and headed to sam’s. the guy there was a real jerk, but I finally got my tire replaced for $38. got out to my car and the spare was packed all nicely back into the trunk…with the jack still sitting in my car. so I had to unpack it all and put the jack in and repack it. blah. and a weird thing is that while he/they were working on my car he/they turned the stereo on. ::shrug::
