Car Trouble + Emergency Commissions\Donations
7 years ago
I finally had my car looked at today after it started shaking side to side whenever I would drive. I found out that the reason it’s shaking is because one of my tires is pretty much fucked. The treads on one side of the tire are tall and the other side are almost completely gone so it rocks the wheel side to side every time it goes around.
I found out that it’s doing that because my alignment is off. I found out my alignment can’t be fixed currently because my control arm bushings are completely shot. There’s no more rubber padding on them, so they need to be replaced.
Currently my car is at the Mechanic’s. I’m going to be picking it up tomorrow with some help from
triprat (He’s a real life saver), but I need to raise an extra 300+ dollars to actually pay for the repairs.
I really don’t like asking for donations, but I could really use some if you’re feeling especially generous. I’m going to be taking some emergency commissions to help with it as well.
I need, like, 10 sketch-level commissions or like 17 doodle-level commissions to have enough for the bushings, then I’m going to need apparently another $300 or $400 to replace the tires, since I was informed that they could burst if I “hit a pothole the right way”, and I live in minnesota, where our state animal is the Pothole.
Send me a note with “Emergency Commissions” in the subject line if you want a commission. I’ll have to take payment in advance, which isn’t how I usually like to do things.
If you want to donate, my paypal is http://paypal.me/xaxgrodrive
I appreciate any help you can give. for obvious reasons I’d like to avoid overly complex ideas.

As a cost saving measure it'd would likely be best if you just went to a Wal-Mart tire center and bought+replace them there. It's like $10 per tire for them to install them and in my experience they tend to be cheaper than the competitors.
