Default Happy Birthday To Me

Friday was my birthday. It has been raining a lot here, and only until the past thursday have we had any sunny weather. So I decided that day I wanted to clean my s2000 and take some pictures of it. So I clean the car, the rims, and even put a little tire shine on it Started out as a pretty good day. My bad luck didn't start until later.






Even my greyhound wanted to ride in it. Too bad she found out she was too big.



I picked my friend up and we were driving back to my house. I went the back roads to avoid any kind of traffic. I drove through this puddle on the road right before a little curve in the road. What I didn't expect that the water from the puddle would make the tire shine oily again and it seems that it got on a good amount of tread. My back end kicks out and I fly backwards into someones driveway and slide into a tree or two.





Well, no real damage. I got my mechanic to check it out, seems I only need to purchase a new rear bumper and passenger side tail light. He said he could fix the rest no problem. Moral, limit the tire shine.

That sucks...
Ya, I never liked greasy-wet looking tires. Just a little to take out the dullness.
