What a day..

Wake up, work from home (yay!). Pretty much get to chill all day, except wrap up a few end of year odds and ends that needed to be taken care of before I take the last few days of the year off. Easy day.

Drove around for some errands... decided to try my hand at some hypermiling tricks... they are fun, but I need to learn more before I really benefit.

Then I work on my car, get the intercooler in... have a bitch of a time with the BOV, but get it lined up reasonably well. Work out plans with my friends to go to Mitsuwa.

Go out to drive to pickup people, and lots of confusion ensues. I was just totally off my game today for some reason, and everything was overwhelming and confusing.

Make plans for dinner, head out with excitment in the air. On the road not even a minute and BOOM. I hit a crazy pothole that I totally didn't see. dunno where the hell it came from. Had to pull over and try to check the tire which appeared to have gone flat. Bad place to pull over, traffic dodging us.

Roll on flat tire up about 1/4 mile up the road, proceed to change tire. Found rim torn in half! Police show up actually when you need them! I showed the officer my damaged rim, and she documented the situation for me. Hopefully I can file some sort of complaint and try to get reimbursed for repair expenses from the state/local govt. Lets see.

Put the donut on... car has LSD... not good to drive with an uneven tire setup & lsd. Decide to ditch the car at home, and take my mom's accord. Head out with the accord and realize I left my wallet in the spec V. Head back to get wallet.

Finally get to mitsuwa and I don't even want to go over the 40 minute ordeal I had to (along with my buddy Won who had it worse) endure just in order to order desert. But at least we got it in the end.

Came home, chilled in my room w/ nothing to do, and then watched the family guy movie.

Good game. Tomorrow gotta take the car to the shop, look for a new rim, check for suspension damage. bleh.

pics of the rim tommorow.
