Have you ever changed a tire?  If so, was it in the city or suburb?  Why didn't you call a tow truck or autoclub?

It helps to have the right tools    This thread has reminded me that I've actually been around auto shops quite a bit. More-so than the average girl, I would guess.  Of course, dad.  In high school; took auto shop and worked at a Toyota dealer (reception/cashier).  Worked at a company (marketing dept) that made tire balancers, alignment equip, engine analyzers... have a few friends who restore, one who owns a body shop, and one who runs the shop at a truck stop.  About all I do now is put air in my tires

The old lady that taught driver's ed, required everyone, even the stuck up bitches, to changed a tire to pass the class.

Good for her!

Way too many times.... I lived in Egypt remember, and the roads there are so shitty, would literally change the tires once a month in the most random places!!!  And they weren't just getting punctured, they were getting ripped the fuck up!!

hahahaha... one time, here in the US, when I was back in High School, I got a flat tire like literally right in front of the enetrance to the High School (This was the time I had a Jeep with the BIG ACH license plate - so everyone at my High School knew what I dove).... well I pulled over and began changing the tire, trunk was left open where I was taking out the spare.... anyways for some reason, This cop pulls up behind me, lights on and everything and decides to help me out.....  Now, the funny thing is, everyone in my high school was driving by, and they see my Jeep with the trunk open and a cop car behind me with it's lights on..... and of course when I actually make it to school people were coming up to me saying they saw me and my car was being searched and asking what happened, even teachers were coming up to me saying things like "What? did they find steroids in your car or something?" lol

Interesting how often the first response in a thread is the best.

 The first time I did it I blew out a tire in the middle of those mountains north of LA. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. Some hillbilly guy pulled over and helped me out. I didn't call anyone because it was 1999 and I didn't have a cell phone, just a beeper.

 Might as well fix it yourself. It takes like 5 minutes. Better than calling up someone else to help you like a little bitch who needs his Mama's titty.
