Then yesterday, (after I learned about the clutch), the tire guy calls and says that the 2 rear tires are different sizes. (1 305, 1 315). WTF!?! Dude send me a picture of both tires in the same picture.

He sends it over and I did an actually "Hey jackass, the tire on the right is the OLD Pirelli. You remounted the old one. Please go find my new tire and mount it on that wheel."

Sheesh. Ok universe, that's enough for this week. Can't handle much else.
WTF

Never move to Florida.

I almost wrecked my car last month because a freaking huge gator was in the middle of the road. Believe it or not, those things are heavy as hell. And hitting them has been known to total cars.

The ones I've seen down here are huge compared to the ones we had in zoos in Ohio.

We always look for it before going out. And the dogs aren't allowed near the lake.

Yeah when I lived in FL there was a gator in the lake behind my condos. We saw it swimming around almost every day; it was no big deal.

My uncle's condo in Sarasota had a big one swimming around by the golf course. They really aren't a huge deal as long as you're careful.
