THANK GOD, the rain has stopped!
It really sucked taking the dog out to do his bizness the last couple o' days. Nothing like getting soaked to the bone. It was nice finally being able to go out and stay dry. I think the dog was happy, too. Taking a dump in the rain must suck!

75 mph hydroplaning on 287 is the **** (new tires going on early next week, and if i dont get some dry weather to do my pads and rotors i may just have the shop do it then... but i really dont wanna shell out 80 an hour for driveway work)

It's kind of nice having a beater like the 4Runner to drive. I was driving over all kinds of branches and debris yesterday since I don't really care. Looks like it's time to mow the lawn though!

I thought to myself on my way to work today, that maybe because of the beautiful weather, that NO ONE would want to go shop for tires today? That they would be out, enjoying probably the last few days of summer....
Dead motha ****ing wrong.
Non-Stop people. I had a Congo line out the door today, counted 20 people. Every single person had baaaaaaald tires, I guess they had a little too much fun in the rain the past few days, thought that they would pick TODAY, a Sunday before Labor Day, to bring in there car.....

I went for a short ride in the SS today to get some gas and I hit one little patch of water at the end of my street and as soon as I let the clutch out the car got sideways instantly. I need tires for sure!

Because he didnt like his car any more, he noticed the trees angle, and said hell give it a shot.
I would do it, if i had a car that i couldnt sell or would get a nice insurance money
