My first car accident

[Jacob]

I just buy my tire at Canadian Tire.

A bit out of the way for dguller, I'd think.

A little bit.


Fuck, I scratch 2 of my doors. One is thru to the primer, I'm pretty sure. The other seems to vary but I don't think it went thru to the steel, maybe not the primer either. Sun isn't completely up yet so I'm unsure.

Now that the sun is up. It's much worse then I expected, both my handles are done for & there's a scratch going along all the length of my car.

By the way, what's the best way to get a new tire?  Should I just lube up and go the dealership, and pay an extra $75-$100?  I assume my tire is destroyed, hitting a pot hot hole destroyed the carcass of the tire.  My tire is unfortunately not the kind that places like Sears have.

Of course.  You're the sort of idiot who buys German cars.

What the fuck did you do?

Sorry if I want to drive something that's a little more fun than a rolling appliance.

[DGuller]

I just looked at my spare tire, and I realized that it's probably just an H-rated regular tire, with an ugly wheel mounted.  I think that means that I can ignore the 50 mph / 50 miles rule when driving on it, and take my time with Internet ordering.

Fun.

Still, you pay heavily for your 'fun'.

Dude didn't let me pass in the traffic. Blocked me.

[DGuller]

Fun.

I do?  In what way?

[Zanza]

Usually buying a single tire is not a good idea, you should change both tires on that axis.

You could consider getting run-flat tires so you won't be in a such a bad situation again and can just drive your car to your usual dealership if the tire is flat.

So you rammed him?  Good work, Alderson.

No, he rammed me. Ineffective block, very good ramming on his part.

My tires are not that old, and don't have too many miles on them.  I think I should be fine with changing one tire.

As for run-flats, they have many disadvantages.  They give a rouger ride, they weigh more, and they may actually get destroyed more easily by the pot-holes, since they don't give as much.  I've read many stories of BMW drivers going through run-flats like normal cars go through fill ups.

Well, you live in New Jersey for one...
