Well with funds being tight and the economic crisis all around, it didn't help anything when my man told me that we have a tire situation. Well it was a bit more than a situation. I looked at those tires on the only car that we are able to drive right now and saw threads. THREADS????!!!!
I didn't know tires were made of string. Well needless to say we were in a crisis. William did his normal "LIBRA" thing and shopped and shopped and shopped and shopped around until he found what he thought was the best deal. It really was good that he shopped around so much, considering the fact that the same tires locally cost around $1,000 and online they were only $600 including the shipping. I still couldn't believe it! $600 is a lot of money, I want to buy a computer for our entertainment addiction. But that would have to wait.
Without going into boring GUY details the rims on our Durango are a little off size so it's a pain to get the right size tire for them. In the meantime, we are praying and fasting and praying some more that our precious tires that we currently have on the truck will hold together long enough for us to save enough money to purchase the rubber that is necessary for a car to move.
Well, I felt inspired.....we have junk all over the house that we don't need. I will sell it. William is a mechanic he can do repairs for not just friends but strangers too. Where do you go when you need to sell your junk and your husband.

It was like I heard angels singing. I went, I sold, and sold some more. Than I found treasures I forgot I had and sold those too. I also sold my husband. I check Morning, Noon and Night to see who needs car repairs on craigslist. I make arrangements, give quotes, and shop for car parts online. William is going crazy!!! I tell him he has appointments and he needs to call this person and that person.
I am a pimp!
You know it's great being a pimp. Because we were able to buy our tires last night. It was a hard pill to swallow, but at least I won't have to listen to my man whore complain about his tires being bald anymore.

Oh my goodness! You are a pimp!!! lol
I'm just glad you're not on those scary, thread-bare tires anymore.
Actually, I'm thinking that being a pimp is a good thing. I just might have to pimp my hubby out too. We'll be pimps together!
