Bless the soul who invented spare tires

Changing a flat 5 in the morning in the bloody highway where the the lock that was holding the spare tire was rusted tight sucks big fat sweaty hairy balls :|

was it a VW?

At least you'd have a full size spare...

A nice thing to have when you're stranded in Mississippi. We were on our way back to St. Louis from New Orleans

maybe next time you shouldn't assume. treads are fine, tire blew out from the side

to assume = to make an ass out of u and me

Damn, WTH is a flat? Haven't been afflicted by one in... decades! Remember the "changing the flat scene" in "A Christmas Story"? That's how it used to be. We had to learn how to change a flat in driver's education class, because they were still prevalent at that time. But today, hell I can't remember the last time I heard of somebody having a flat!




"was it a VW?"

"At least you'd have a full size spare..."


Pffft, that's because they already use "space saver" sized tires on all four corners!

I've had a couple of flats.

The worst one was on the interstate, at 1-2am, in the rain, near a speed trap.

do people really steal spares? especially ones with crappy steel wheels?
