Default I hate the UPS man

So i'm sitting at Evolution hanging wid Jeff and the boy's waiting for the UPS man to deliver my new gunmetal LE37's. The UPS guy was SUPPOSED to get there at 11:00 because i had an appointment at 2:00 to put the tires on my fatty new rims. BUT the dude doesn't show up till like 4:30, so i miss my appointment and its booked up all tommorrow so i left the rims and tires so hopefully then can do them in their spare time so i can have the rims on by when i leave for school early thursday morning.

But the other shit of it all is that i had to take 2 cars down there, my moms jeep and the S. but tommorrow i won't have the jeep, so i have to find some other friend to go out of their way and take their time to come with me so i can lug my stock rims back home. BLAH such problems.... THIS is why i HATE the UPS man grrrrrr

SO BOO to the UPS man.

Geez. . .it could have been worse. Much worse. I'm sure the UPS man did not have malicious intent with your delivery. Shit happens, as you know. You have the rims now, so be thankful that they are fine. Some things are worth the wait and a beautiful set of Volks on your baby is certainly worth waiting for. Enjoy!

You can carry 4 wheels in the S2k, it's not impossible. Put three wheels on the passenger seat (cover the seat with something) and one in the trunk. Do a search for some other ways to carry 4 wheels. People even carry 4 mounted tires/wheels. Just make sure you tie the wheels to the seat.

hmmm, i thought about that, i thought about putting something over the trunk and tying one down ontop of that. I changed my seats so that makes it a bit difficult to put 3 in the front maybe 1 or 2 if i really want to try my luck. Do you think a stock mounted tire will fit in the trunk? I mean if you have a flat its gotta go somewhere right? hmmmm

Don't tie the weight of 2 tires/rims to the [top] trunk of your S2000 . Forget about getting pulled over as your worries...how about damaging your trunk, or your bumper, or...whatever...surely that's not worth it. Besides...isn't this trip all about going back to school? Why do you have to take the stockers back with you in the first place

yeah that's an accident waiting to happen, if you can't fit them into the car just make two trips or get a friend to pick up two of them.

i don't understand why people need to make simple things so difficult...
