Yup, its a bad day when you realize you need to slow down, carry a spare tire, keep a backup pair of glasses, and change into old clothes before working on a car.

Its called growing up.

I don't mean to "preach" at you, but two of those problems could have easily been avoided. Driving 90 MPH just isn't smart, and there's a good reason why cars come with spare tires. Find it and put it back in the car. The subwoofer is of no use when you're stranded on the side of the road.

In TN they can LEGALLY charge you with reckless endangerment if you are going one mile per hour over the speed limit. Even at one MPH over, you’re still breaking the law. Some officers will. I've heard of people getting tickets for 32 in a 30. I myself was pulled over for going 60 in a 30 on Main St. (yeah, I know that's crazy, don't bash on me, I was a stupid teenager), and I just got a $75 ticket, no reckless endangerment (which would have been well deserved). It all depends on the officer and if anyone else has made him mad that day.

Coincidentally, that was caused by a girl too. Anyone see a pattern?

How this day could have been lots worse:

-girl could have been calling to say you will soon be a daddy.

-got arrested for wreckless driving while thinking about what in the world you are going to do about new baby in life.

-while stewing over being arrested and contimplating being a very ill prepared soon to be daddy sittin in the cell, some very large individual walks up to you and says, 'you sure got a purtty mouth.'

so, no life altering events, let's just chalk this up to, "dang, this day sucked"
