#$#@#%$^Drove over the Spike Strips at Work, 4 Tires Ruined

[tnitsuj]

G$%#^ it. Coming back from lunch today, doing the same thing I do every day, car stops in the inspection area and the guards do thier dog/mirror thing. Guard gives all clear, but instead of pushing the button that drops the little candy striped barrier, he hits the one that pops up spike strips. Roll over them, tires gone. Stupid contract guards. I wanted to throttle that idiot.

Waiting for AAA to come with a flatbed. #$^$&(#@&*#@(^&#(#@ Tirs only had around 10k on them.

[gigapet]

so you get free tires and the afternoon off.......cheers:beer:

 

[DurocShark]

they're gonna pay for 'em, right?

If not, I'd have to say time for Mr. Knife to meet that guard's Mr. Tires.

 

Get the security company to pay for it? Where do you work?

Yeah, getting re-imbursed by the government. That will only take between now and never...

Allright, I have this habit of gunning it out of the capture area, and I really wanted to eat my salad. Partly my fault, but that isn't supposed to happen. I am conditioned to hit it when the first barrier pops up.

Damn that's funny. I could imagine what was going thru your mind after the first two blew, then the stupidity you felt for going over them with the back tires. Sounds like something homer simpson would do. :beer:

He'll get lots of salad for lunch there!

Get cost for installing same type tire/model as new (from a few places). Anything else you want more than that you should pay the difference. Just my opinion.

They will put in your request for reimbursement with the 2009 budget proposal, and you will wind up with these since thats what they have laying around.

Don't forget your locking lugnuts. Oh yea, the spike strips probably wrecked your rims too. You should get some dubs
