Driving home in the GORGEOUS weather today, having a little fun in traffic. Well just as I am about to turn down the street that I live off of (about 1/4 mile from home) temp gauge goes WHOOSH to H. Goddamnit. Get her home and get to looking: the rubber hose that goes under the intake mani from the back of the block to the front burst. Great. No biggie, but the screw down clamps were a B|TCH to get at. Got em off, but just as I was finishing up I dropped my wrench under the car. I lay to get it and what do you know: there is a freaking NAIL head sticking out of my front right Falken Azenis Sport. Goddamnit. Get the motor fixed just to find this. Good think AutoX season is over because I would never be able to compete with that in there. So waiting for my "friend" to get back in town so I can get "down" like Cheech and Chong and forget the bad day.....ARGH.

At least I gots a party to go to where I am taking not one but 2 hot older ladies (well, I am 22 and they are 23 but still...)
