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?
