— and the cold just keeps getting colder.
Last night, Bryan and I had quite an adventure. We went to my parents house to play games. We left around 9:45 p.m. to go home and while driving hear some really strange noises. We pulled over to investigate out left back tire and only found ice around the wheel. We removed the ice and continued driving. We then continued driving and heard more strange noises. We pulled over into a local grocery store parking lot under a light post and got out of the car to investigate more.
We found the problem.
Our left rear tire was completely flat. So in 16 degree F weather, we pulled out the jack and changed the tire.
We were successful in making sure we wouldn’t defrost for three days, making strange noises with the jack and finally after a really long time in the frosty weather changing the tire.
There were positive messages to be learned, however. 1st: signing up for Triple A isn’t a bad idea. 2nd: there is always a positive side to every situation (ours was that it wasn’t raining, snowing and we found the problem before we got to the freeway) 3rd: I never want to change a tire again.
