Flat tyres near the finish line

You see, racing is more than a passion. It is something even more than a lifestyle, it is a life in its purest form! I have to tell you that being honest is not always the best strategy when it comes to street racing. You can very often just keep the successes for yourself only as it is illegal. All those flat tyres just meters away from the finish line remain in your own consciousness too, there is no way you can share that with somebody, you know what I mean? you could get fined or anything. This is illegal to take part in street racing, especially in our province. Anyway, coming back to the case of tyres... do you have any idea how often does it happen to me? I mean flat tyres. during the races... I simply cannot believe sometimes. This is the stuff that makes me feel that I have to be ready for everything in my life. bad luck can be everywhere for gods sake. You can never be sure that everything is about to be fine. this likes to strike in the most unexpected moments, as all that is bad in our life. flat tyres could be used as a metaphor here. I hope that it is a one that everybody will understand. Eventually, what is the point in each metaphor? To be understood and to picture something good. Isn"t it like that?
