Miscalculations and MTB

You are probably wondering why on earth I would take an MTB ride, especially just when it started raining like hell. This is cross season afterall. And riding my MTB just made me feel bad for missing the entire Långloppscupen season because of my car and arm.
Why is the question. Well, I did some calculations and I completely missed something in my budget. Picking up a new car in December means I will need to get winter tires directly and I have a feeling that is why Hedin Bil said my Renault Clio will not be there until December. Sneaky bastards. A quick look around puts a set of 4 dubbdäck at 7000kr which I was not at all prepared for. Fan. That was my CX Cupen budget. And then there is that little trip to see my parents in Canada which is supposed to happen over Christmas. Fat chance of that with a plane ticket at 8000kr.
So an MTB ride is me saying that I want to keep training hills and would prefer to have brakes while doing so. But cross season is looking shite at the moment.

Sorry but if you've bought a car, new or used, from a main dealer and they've not thrown in winter wheels then you've been ripped off!

This is also what I think. But this skrotbilspremie of 30000kr is generous already so I am not sure how much more I can squeeze from them. But certainly they should give me a discount for having to wait so long and for being without car entirely for 2 months. Right?
