Check your tire and spare tire regularly

Dear my comrades,

On last Friday, I went to the rock climbing gym. I found out that my car got flat tire. As I went open the trunk to get my spare tire. I found out that it's very bumpy and some of its parts were shredded off. With my grab-shit-better-than-fart principle, I decided to put that spare tire on and forced on driving. It didn't last long though. At somewhere on NASA blvd, I had to park my car.

Mike and Adams were kind enough to come by and brought fix n' flat spray in attempting to fix the original tire. Turned out it didn't work because it was the side wall that leaked. Fortunately, I had AAA membership, so they sent the mechanic to tow the car to Firestone. Next day I had Haiyun AKA ocean AKA cloud took me there to get my car fixed.

Now I still have to find a new (used) spare tire from somewhere since they no longer made it. If anyone ran across the spare tire for Mazda 626, please let me know.


Moral of the story
- Check spare tire condition regularly.
- Check the air on tire at least as often as filling the gas.
- Get AAA membership, it will save your soul.
