Today i was reminded that there are, in fact, still decent and good people in this world. We fly through our days, not caring about others and only ourselves. I guarantee everyone walks right by an opportunity to help someone else. Well not today!
See, to fill you all in, I have had a low tire for about 4 weeks. Do I ever fix it? no. Until this weekend, I figured Id bite the bullet and get it looked at. Esp. since it was completely low now. So I go out and realize I cant even drive it anywhere because its THAT FLAT. Lucky me! I get to put on the spare! However, this proves harder than previously thought.
Ive changed tires. Ive changed tires at home. At Theta. On the side of I-5. Ive done it all. However, this stupid Mitsubishi Galant of my fathers has lugnuts that will not loosen for the life of me. (The one time I wished my Escort wasnt at some impound in Long Beach with a crumpled front end)
Then, when Im about to give up and call a tow truck, a guy who lives in the apartment where my car was parked comes out and helps me! Oh people are nice! Unfortunately, even he cant get the damn lugnuts off(lugnuts, hehehehe, sorry) and he puts the back on and tells me he'll follow me to the gas/service station 5 blocks away. I said I was fine and slowly(10mph) to the Shell Station.
Just when I think people couldnt try anymore and help anymore, the car guy said he found a nail in my tire and it would cost $15. But since he couldnt actually find the leak, he didnt charge me! Who says people in the city are out to take you for all you got? I GOT NOTHING. THEY CANT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. HA.
