Slice of Sicilian and a Donut
It is wonderful how special things can happen just for you at unexpected times. Yes… there they were, in the office kitchen two slices of perfectly baked Sicilian. Zesty marinara and gooey cheese on perfectly baked square shaped pizza dough, pure genius and they were all mine for the taking! Tucking them under a plastic plate and some napkins, I rolled out into the pleasant evening for my drive back home. Everything was perfect; the cool breeze, the smooth drive, rock and roll on the radio, the Sicilian riding home with me, Kaboom! Yet again I was welcomed to the real world with a loud Bang! I had driven over the dysfunctional drain whose edge sliced through the rubber like a hot knife. I do not know how and why I manage to do all this, but I have a feeling that you guys are having a good laugh as you watch me drive home with 3 tires and a donut attached to my precious Nissan Sentra.

WTF!!! Donut?
Sachchi bol, kais aaya waapis?
Certain vehicles, especially non-luxury cars, are provided with a "limited use" spare tire, colloquially referred to as a "donut", in an attempt to reduce cost, lower the vehicle's weight, and/or to save on the space that would be needed for a full-size spare tire. The spare is usually mounted on a plain steel rim. Compared to a full-sized spare, the "donut" is often stored beneath the truck bed. They are typically smaller than the normal tires on the vehicle and can only be used for limited distances because of their short life expectancy and low speed rating. As well, due to the different size of a donut compared to regular wheel, electronic stability control and traction control systems will not operate properly and should be disabled until the original wheel is restored.
