While traveling to work on the I-10 my front tire decided to give way and shred itself to the bare minimum.  The worst part is afterward when I found out another $500 dollars would be going into repair.  The car isn’t worth it, but the economy has slowed my family’s finances so I have to stick with it despite putting more in it than its value.  By the end of the year I’m taking out a loan to either get a van or a vespa.  Until then, I will hold onto what I have.
