Real Bad day.... Well i was at work today and someone walked in the store and asked who drove the black TA.....they said it had a flat. I walked outside and looked and the tire was just a bit slack. I looked around the tire and couldnt find any holes or nails. So i drove it up do the local store to pupm the tire up. Come to find out someone took and glued my caps on the valve stems. I tryed to get the cap off but it wouldn't move. Come to find out....all my caps on all the tire had been glued on. I finally got he cap off by cutting the back of the stem with a pair of cutters. So now i have to get a new valve stem on the front passenger tire. Hopefully the tire shop can find a way to get the other caps off without replacing the stems. It probably wouldnt have been so bad if the stems were plastic but theyre the metal ones that come on the firehawk wheels, I usually check my tires every two weeks to make sure they are right, So i guess someone thought it would be funny to let some air out the front tire and put some glue in them. I checked the whole tire and there are no leaks but from the valvestem where i had to cut it. Now im just waiting for someone to come up and tell me it was a prank. Going to be a bad day for them.

Well. The shop managed to get the other caps off without breaking the stem. Had to get one of the stems replaced. Cost me $5. Wasnt too bad.

People that do this **** need to be beat the hell down and slaughtered. Well the slaughter part is over the top but nonetheless beat into submission. ( I guess I've been listening to, too much death metal
)I would be flipping the hell out though, I would have to find out who. Most likely it's someone you prolly even know. Why else would someone do this? I guess just to be dick.

Beat his or her ***! You don't **** with our cars. If it's your boss's son then maybe you can just slash his tires. Unless you don't care about your job, then just beat him down.
