Default Figures...It's Friday the 13th !

I had a good day at work today.. No calls and Dispatch left me alone

So I did my hours and started my drive home.. I take a main higway leading back to my house like I do everyday.. As I am crusing, I hear a *POP*.. Didnt think anything of it, probably a plastic soda bottle or other that I had ran over... I keep driving and hear a beeping noise, I had my bluetooth on so I figured it was a call... Uh Uh, that beeping noise was my low preassure warning....

As I kept drving ( at 65MPH mind you) I started to feel a weird feeling with the steering ....It was official, I had a flat..... I pulled over and started the deed..I didnt think My Stockers would be that prone with only 3000 miles on them, go figure

Righ thar and than my wife calls and says.. "were you expecting a package?, i said yeah, my rims..... She says that USPS apparantly attempted delivering the 4 huge boxes today but noone was home....MY WIFE WAS HOME !... yet they left a note saying Delivery was attempted noone home

After back and fort with USPS they said they would reattempt del monday...I dont like to wait...I went over there and wainted in line 45 minutes to get my 4 huge boxes... Luckily they fit and I went home


I will now have a beer and chillax


Happy Friday the 13th.... Jeez !

Hahaha. Glad that it all worked out. I've gotten the "nobody home" note left on the screen door before too. Even with the front door open and jeep in the driveway. But usually with utility companies!



Edit: Oh yeah, how do the wheels look?

Thanks for the words fellas


Honestly the wheels are still in the boxes.. I currently dont have any 33s just yet and would rather take them out once the tires arrive


Kinda like and early christmas gift LOL


UPS normally does leave packages at my front door, but for this ebay purchase.. It required a signature

All in all I picked up 4 17x9 Cragar Soft 8 For $257 shipped..The company was located in PA so it took 2 days to deliver.. can't knock that

Yeah, apparently Friday the 13th does suck. One of my buddies from New York had his project Honda Civic stolen from his driveway. Not some run of the mill intake and headers, I'm talking full on, gutted and built from the ground up, not an unmodified piece on this thing, it was making 300 whp when it was severely untuned. He's pretty bummed too.
But on the upnote here, glad you got your rims in, that is the perfect way to offset a flat. Well, I guess the perfect way would be if they arrived mounted and balanced with your tires...
