The tire shop called me at 11:45 AM.
“Your car’s ready.”
“Great!”
“You got a bent rim. I’m calling around to see if I can get you a used one so you don’t have to spend $700 on a new one.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t find one.)
“Wait. You put a $300 new tire on a bent rim?”
“Yeah, it’s not bent too bad. I had ’em put some extra sealant on it so the bead should hold. Just be careful if you hit a pothole. It might take an hour before it deflates.”
Way to inspire confidence on the eve of a 400 mile car trip.
Stay healthy and safe.
