Yep, that was an extra $80.

Bad Luck Strikes...

Pilot Super Sport on the passenger side, blown and torn to shreds. Damn kids and their rocks.

I'm not one to make this sort of thread, but damn, no one around these parts understands my pain.

Managed to get the spare on. Guess I'll be eating McDonalds breakfast in the dealership lobby tomorrow morning.




I know your pain, same thing happened to me last week on my brand spankin new monogram with 72 miles on it!

212 bucks later, I had not even crossed 100 miles...

They had to order the wheel studs and the nut, so I will be stuck with a Prius V loaner for the weekend unless the parts arrive tomorrow. Tire was replaced under road hazard.

Looks like none of that bad luck really stuck to you.

He'll be driving a Prius V for God's sake, how can you say bad luck didn't stick to him??

I can say that after renting one of those for a trip to ATL last year... While it averaged 53mpg, it was just insulting to the driver inside me. It hurt, it hurt bad.

I'm making the best of it.

It's an amusing vehicle to haul around, specially when the majority of your friends are in the car scene.
