The last time I had my oil changed, the mechanic told me I should get new tires, but that I could make it through the winter before it was really necessary.
After driving home Tuesday through the winter storm, and driving to work Wednesday morning, my response to that is, “Uhhh … no.” So I now have a brand-new set of tires, and have blown my budget for the month.
It’s a good thing I’ve already bought all my Christmas presents.
