So I stopped at 2:30am, but was only able to sleep till 5:30am because it was so cold.

Isn't wallmart open 24/7? [emoji1]

I have a woobie blanket in my car. Actually it is my sons so he can get another 15 minutes of sleep on ride to school. But I want one of my own now, and so does my daughter.

Few Wal-Marts in Western Kansas near the rest stops, but completely valid point. My goal today is to get South enough that is either warm enough to sleep better, or close enough that I'll get a hotel. I'm going to try to make it to Birmingham for the night now.

There's a few Whataburgers in Birmingham

Tire fiasco continues.

My mom just called from aurora that her tire is flat.
Initially, Discount tire (iliff and havana) would not be able to change her tire because they close at 5.

Found out the tire is undrivable and they were nice enough to take her. 2 hours wait. It will be covered by road side warranty she purchased.

It is worth spending $ on those road side warranty from discount tire*.

I am not promoting discount tire.

I got some new tires at the local tire place. When he mentioned the warranty, I asked about off-road usage. His reply was, "I don't need to know how it happened." I purchased the warranty.

Yay local tire place guy!

I predict ncaaf will have 3 upsets today. [Cheer]

IMO it's worth spending the $$ on tire / hazard coverage anywhere. The RSA is covered under AAA, your vehicles factory warranty, or possibly your auto ins. I just had 4 Bridgestone run flats covered. The dealer made the call, saved me 50% .
Crazy thing about some mini vans, there's no place for a spare tire, or does the vehicle come with one. I'm thinking about one of those roof racks that can carry 3-4 gas cans, spare tire[s] and some other shit only seen on off road vehicles.

The no spare and run flats on the Sienna drove me mad. Was glad to trade in that car. Oh and the front brakes that just warp if you look funny at them.
Many people did a regular tire conversion and carried an inflatable doughnut tire in the trunk. Seriously Toyota.
