got up early (although late by my work standards) to drive Polo Girl to Final Day of District Championships. 45 minutes away. Halfway there, suffered a blow-out on the nearside rear tire. right at one of the busiest freeway intersections in the Detroit area. yay. Cop showed up pretty sharply, told me not to bother with AAA, an MDOT courtesy van was nearby and would be there in a jiffy to change my tire for me. Awesome. Then he left. 20 mins later called AAA (meanwhile -fortunately- we managed to contact another team car who was not yet at the point we had reached to pull over and grab Polo Girl and take her on)

For those who don't yet know, AAA's roadside emergency hotline sucks. and when you finally get through to the old biddy 10 states away, -after going through a bajillion automated menus and dropped calls..... she sucks too. Who knew it was unreasonable to give the State, Freeway Number, Direction, Mile Marker visible from the car (159.1), previous and next exit #s and the fact that you were on the shoulder on the ramp and expect them to be able to figure out where the fuck you were?

Then the AAA guy turned up in half the predicted time and did an awesome job. I only missed 5 minutes of the game. which they won 7-0 or something and made it to the final.

took car to get new tire..... previous were warrantied for 60,000 miles. Stupid car just hit 55555 a few weeks ago, and these are not the tires put on my the manufacturer


9yes, I have a pic of the 55555 on the odo)
