First time in my 13 years of driving…I had a blowout. Last night on the way home from Quaker Steak N Lube restaurant while driving about 55mph, my drivers side rear tire blew. Immediately I pulled over and threw on the full size spare.

Windows were rolled down cruizin along when we both heard a ‘pop’ (in some parts of the US, it would be called soda). Kathy immediately asked me “was that your tire?”. I replied “Yep”.

2 days later, I made it to Pepboys for replacement. The mechanic comes out and says “I know why your tire blew”. He then reaches in his pocket and reveals a pair of 7″vice-grips.

It’s very bad. Within the next few days, I will be cashing in my saving bonds. This will allow me to make this months bills but I doubt next months. I pay the bare minimum $424.25 per month in necessary bills. I eat about $300 per month in Food. If it wasn’t for Ma, Rob, and Kathy feeding me, I would have been belly up 2 months ago.

I’m hoping to land a job at a local car wash by next weekend. I hope. Otherwise - and I know I’ve said this before - I will have no choice but to pan handle in about 2 weeks if no job offer becomes available.

I really hate to ask family for help as they are struggling too. I have alot of pride in myself being independent and accomplishing everything that I have on my own. It hurts me now relying on Ma, Rob, & Kathy for food. I would feel embarrassed to ask any family members for assistance and I feel that this would be a huge setback on what I have accomplished and on my image.
