My poor car part 2

I knew this was going to be a money year on the car (what do you expect when its 9 years old) but this is getting ridiculous.

One of the tires randomly goes flat. Fill it up, it lasts about 2 weeks just sitting in the driveway. Move it around and its flat the next day (really slow leak).

So Chris pulled it off tonight to find the leak and potentially take it in to be fixed. Turns out its not the tire but the rim has rusted out on the inside. And the spare does not look much better. We ended up putting the spare one since we sort of need to use it this weekend and I didn't want to be the only house in the neighborhood with a car up on blocks.

So now we are off next week to find all new rims for the car. And we still haven't done the major tune up it needs (plugs and wires) nor put on the new exhaust (its really loud right now).

Boy do i have a ghetto car going. Just need to add a primered door or hood and it will fit right in.
