![]() I was driving home late last night and I heard a "click click click click click" that increased/decreased dependent on my speed. So I knew it was either a large pebble or a nail in my tire. I checked it out when I got home and sure enough it was a nail.
Why do new tires always attract nails and screws? ![]() I took it by the tire place down the road and they did an internal patch for ~$25 so it wasn't a big deal. Hopefully this will be the last of my automotive bad luck for a while. They come in 3s, right? 1. Totaled the red wagon. 2. Door ding in the STI. 3. Nail in tire.

![]() Yeah, door ding already. I'm trying to adopt the "ehhh, it happens" mentality so it doesn't bother me much anymore. That's not going to stop me from parking hella far away from all cars in parking lots though.
![]() I hope not! The sti IS my new car ![]() |

![]() I can't detect if there's sarcasm here or not.
Come one guys, it's not THAT bad. - The tire was easily fixed. - The door ding can be fixed. I had paintless dent repair done on the red wagon a few times and you couldn't even tell where the dings had happened. - Totaling the red wagon bummed me out (I still am bummed), but I replaced it with the STI. Can't complain about that! |

![]() Similar things happened to my 2005 STi in the first few hundred miles I owned it. It sucks, but it does make you a little less worried about the "new" car (just a little!).
