Tired of tires

So tonight I had to do the enevitable. I had to put tires on my car. My dad called this morning telling me that they would be $97.00 a peice. $97.00 a peice! That's his cost! I told him to get me 2 of them and I'd come by and change them after work. Well I made it home to change after a drive that felt like forever. And then the trip to their house took just as long. I spent almost an hour driving a total of like 8 miles!

Winter is such a love hate thing. I love the snow and playing in it is great too, but driving in it sucks. Why does it suck you ask? Because people don't know how to drive in the snow! They think that since they are in a truck or an SUV they can go faster. Not true. So they end up in an accident and cause traffic to back up even further! Don't you see?!! If we all slow down 15 mph, then we'll all get there faster. No accidents, no long wait in traffic. Sure it seems like it will take forever if you don't take it faster, but it never pays off. 

In the long run, I'm glad that I changed my tires tonight (even if it took longer than planned) because I can already tell a difference in how my car handles, so I guess it was worth it.
