I'm back from LA! I had to come back early because I had to finish up a lot of work, so I decided to leave on Monday. I was going to fly, but ended up taking my mom's Lexus SUV instead at the last minute. Los Angeles to San Francisco usually takes about 6 hours, but it took me 21 hours!! Why me???When I picked up Sunny, I told her mom "Don't worry, I will take care of
Sunny. She will be fine." Well, the first 3 hours was fine. Midway between SF and LA, my tire went flat *sob sob* (on the freeway at 3 am!!!). My phone had no reception, so I couldn't make any calls. Luckily Sunny was with me and her phone was working. If I were alone, I would be so dead since I was in the middle of no where! AAA came to rescue us and changed my tire, but after putting the spare tire on, he said "Um, your spare tire is flat". He filled the tire with some air, and told us that a tire place is 20 miles away. Of course only 6 miles later, my tire went flat again. AAA guy suddenly showed up (maybe he was following us since I gave him $20 tip *lol*) In the end, we decided to tow the car. OMG.... Pailin, if you are reading this, you caused me a day + sleep in Shell's Parking lot!! Nothing was open, we were stuck. The guy said we just had to sleep there until the morning...8 am the next day, tire service guy came with 2 tires. Then he said "you need all 4 tires changed" D: The car was sitting in my mom's parking lot for so long unused that the tire cracked I guess, and I need alignment too. (There goes $1100... my hard earned money *sob sob*). They didn't have the right size of tire since it's only specially made for that particular Lexas model, so we had to wait for another 2 hours for them to order those. We ended up leaving around 1:30pm *cries*.
I called my dad, and he said "Oh yea! You are always unlucky with flat tires.. even on your bike when you were a kid". That brought back some traumatizing memory. One time, my family decided to go on a bike riding marathon trip. I was the slow one, so they all left me behind, and then my bicycle tire went flat, so I had to walk all the way to the end. (I think it took a few hours to walk T_T). On my old car too, I think I must have had flat tire problem at least 6 times. That's why I don't like things with tires!! >_<;;;
