Default signs you should have stayed in bed

1. you cant find your class schedule

2. you take good car to school for first time. park it alone, come back after class to see a 1982 Full Size Van complete with aero wing and a 1987 Jetta parked between you.

3. you come back to school.. see that no spots are left, so you have to park near the curb. only to not see that sewer grade you just swiped



hopefully bleach white will fix the letter damage

Your bad day is dictated by a scuffed tire?? Better get a crash helmet when you get out of school and into the real world.

Just wait until a chancery court judge tells you that you hafta pay your freshly-divorced-ex-wife's house note for the next 2 years. That'll REALLY blow your day!!!

Ever seen the Seinfeld episode where George convinces a panel to let him have an apartment because he's suffered more hardships than the old guy who survived the Andrea Doria boat wreck? You have a slightly scuffed tire, stick some Tire Shine on it, it'll be okay.

I once scuffed my tire and ended up calling the suicide hotline. I hope you recover shortly. Get well soon.

Tough Crowd!

I know it sucks to get that first "ding" in your baby, but trust me you will get over it. Look at it this way, the next one won't hurt nearly as bad.

Hope your tomorrow is better!

Elbow,
Wash the tire with some Westley's Bleche-White then use your favorite tire shine, it'll look good as new.

my c3 rolled down my drive way into the front corner of my garage, destroying about 4 feet of wall, a 2000 dollar garage door, and did extensive damage to the front of the car. Did I mention the vette paint was 3 days old? And the garage door 6?

That's a bad day? How about you go on the Bloomington Gold drive out and get tailended in your Vette. Scuffed tires is nothing, I wish I had that much of a bad day.
