    "Screwed" again

    Strangest coincidence I've ever had between cars I've owned.

    My previous car, MkV GTI 2006, picked up a screw in the left rear tyre in September 2006. My current car, MkVI GTI 2010, picked up a screw in the left rear tyre in September 2010.

    Not only that, both screws were in a similar position on the tyre - between the first and second blocks of tread (from the outside).

    i've been ''screwed'' 4 times in my street.

    trust me, when you've also been ''screwed'' by the tyre place ($212 per corner, albeit for sticky BFG sports), it's extra painful.

    I picked up 3 nails in a couple of months. Lucky I know people who own a tyre shop and can go fix the tyres myself!

    What's not a coincidence? The two screws? You mean it was planned that way?!?!?
