    Got out of college today to find my left fat tire is flat, i noticed a couple days ago that if i wiggled the stem a little, air would start to come out, well somehow it emptied the whole tire in 2 hours. well the tire is so fat that even if i had a good can of fix a flat it wouldnt help at all, so i had to walk a mile to the local advance auto:rofl: Picked up 2 cans of fix a flat. 1 huge one and 1 small one.
    Got back and had to jack up the car inorder to get the fix a flat in:jack:Pumped it up and was on my way.

    3 things that i dont understand.

    Why did i feel like i had to leave in the middle of class?
    Why did i still have a jack in my car?
    Why did the car infront of me almost have a flat tire?:hmmm:o_O

    Have a nice night, cheers!
