Another day, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

While I was watching the last bit of the F1 post-race coverage, Mrs McMike came back from running a short errand.

Bonus, she only drove about 100 yards on this one, and I think we'll be able to keep using it.

This time, it turned out to be the valve stem again. I swear, the tire shop that put these on must have had a bad batch, because every one of them has failed. This was the last one.

I have never known anyone to be so unsuccessful keeping air in their tires. (It's not all her fault, since four of her flats have been because of these stems)

Bad news, all the local gas stations' bays were closed, and I had to drive a little further to a tire chain store to have a new one put in.

Bonus sighting at the tire store.

Hi-riser lift gave up?

The Tire Gods called me today. They tell me that Mrs. Mcmike needs to buy a hovercraft in order to save the tires.

No shit. She has the worst luck. If it's not a nail, it's a valve stem, if it's not a valve stem it's some other debris. I actually have a cup hanging on the wall in the garage where I store all this debris.

Hahaha, that's a great idea. I seem to only get "Oh Shit, that's going to cost a lot" moments from potholes and blind people who drive, and that's only happened twice.
