driving towards manitoba on the trans canada hwy. my rear tire hit a nice chunk of unidentified metal and took a turn for the worse. i had to try fix this on my own, but failed. my jack wasn't cut out for the job and i couldn't lift the vehicle up enough to get the doughnut on. i had to call a tow truck to help me lift the mazda up, and slide the spare on. i drove back to kenora and was back on the road an empty pocket later.

top) this sucks.

bottom) this still sucks.
