This has been one helluva week!



Drove to work on Monday and almost got to work and my left front tire went flat. I ended up with a nice little cut in the sidewall most likely from a piece of ice.

I pulled down my spare tire and couldn't get the damned rusted bolt free to release the tire from the hanger. I left my truck on the jack and my buddy gave me and the tire a lift home.

Tuesday i went to get the tire fixed and ended up having to replace the tire since it was cut in the sidewall. $150.00 later and I was rolling again. I cut the bolt off the hanger and threw the spare in the bed.

Last night, (Friday) at 3am I went out move the Expedition and the battery was dead. click, click,click.

Today I got off work and bought a new 1000 CCA battery and $102.00 later we're rolling again.

I hope like hell nothing happens to my Taurus!

Tim
