Default thank Ford for the jack in the boot

well today after booking my car in for new tyres....theyre at the canvas

anyways going back to uni from lunch, i hear ssssssss and think OMG i hope the spare tyre is good.....wasnt too far from home to drove back (tyre was still inflated), pulled up to my mount everestt of a driveway and stopped so the car was flat, got out and it was my rear tyre...ok look at ground COVERED in meat ants feasting on a toad..DAMN!!!

qucikly drive up driveway....lost my entire rear end on the apex, its also a tight squeeze so drive to the right more, got out and the tyre iron wrench thing wont even fit between tyre and wall.....F'N FFFFF

so i use fords so called tool rip my hands to pieces, get 4 of 5 nuts off, swear some more, jack the car up according to the diagram, i just fit between car and wall, get to right height to pop wheel off, then BANG BANG BANG f'n jack just collapses, scared the hell out of me..ive never moved so quickly in my life

anyways ive given up and now im waiting for RACQ, they can work for their money

lesson learnt DONT buy dunlop SP3000a's POS tyre i got maybe 30 000kms out of them...and no i didnt do 30 000kms worth of burnouts i might have done 100m worth accumulated.

replace tyres when they ARE already illegal not until they burst
carry a trolley jack instead of the standard one
wear gloves when working on the car
dont swear when neighbours are around
NEVER go without RACQ, wouldnt be without them would you

could this day get any worse

/end rant
