I took Allison's car in to the dealership today to get an oil change This meant that she had my car to drive to school. She called me and told me that when she got to school my rear passenger side tire was flat. She could hear air hissing out of it. So, I grabbed my documentation on the tire protection plan that I had through Kia because of the lease. I brought that with me to the dealership to find out what I had to do about the tire. They had that information on file so I just had to bring the car in. So, I hung out at the dealership as I planned to do to wait for Allison's car to be finished. I think they finished up around noon. I spent the time trying to work on my lines for the play.
I got Allison's car and swapped it for mine. I filled the tire as best I could and drove it to the dealership. Waiting for Triple AA was going to make things even longer. I was sort of white knuckling it tot he dealership and for some reason leaning to my left as if I could put the car off balance for less on that rear tire. Yes, that makes no sense but that is what I did. I did not notice any difficulty while driving. Couldn't feel the wheel as being flat. It was pretty flat as the tire pressure dropped to 3. But I got it there and they were able to replace the tire for me and it was covered.
It did mean that I was stuck in the dealership till about 2pm. It was a long day very much wasted but I have a new tire and Allison's car is all set as well.
