New rubber

Here's my new rim and tire. Now I'll have to scrub clean the other three so it doesn't stand out so conspicuously.

This wonderful screw and washer are the reason my spare tire kept going flat.

Here's a recap:
New Tire: $90
New (used) Rim: $210
Cab to work Tuesday: $20 (tip included)
Cab home Tuesday: $20 (tip included)
Air at gas stations: $4 at least (WTF, 50-cents for air?)
New spare tire: To Be Determined
New lug nut key: To Be Determined
Stress and aggravation: Priceless

    There must be a cheaper path to stress and aggravation ...

    Wow. Do they have Les Schwab out there? If one of our cars had this happen we could take it there and they would fix the flat for free. Of course you had to buy your tires there to begin with. But way to keep stimulating the economy.
