Today, as I was leaving for school, I noticed that a considerable amount of ice had built up on my windshield. Unable to find my ice scraper and running late as it was. I decided that I would try to clear off the ice by using my windshield wipers. This was dumb idea number one. Dumb Idea number two was trying to do that while driving. It was all going pretty well until I ran into a road island that i couldn't see through the portion of my windshield that was cleared of ice. I'm okay, and my car is okay with the exception of the front driver's side tire simply exploding. Obviously this whole ordeal made me even more late and now in need of a new tire.
Moral(s) of the story: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When it comes to cars, never be in a rush.
Mondays, am I right?
