I would say no offense, but in this case I do mean to offend a little. Why the frick are you letting your kids drive around with no spares and no instruction on how to change them?


Quite a few cars don't come with spare tires these days.

Tell me this, is it safer for your kids to have run flat tires, or be on the shoulder of the interstate changing a flat tire? I get it though, this is a heman thread.

I just drive straight to the tire shop if I get a flat. Pays off to buy run flats.

Wrong. This is a "don't be a retard" thread.

My vehicle comes with roadside service. Why would I change a tire myself?

If not, that's what AAA is for -- think it's about $50 a year.

I pay for roadside assistance for a reason. I’m helping the economy.

My wife got a flat last year and I had to call roadside assistance. I had better things to do.

How so? If their vehicle has a jack, tire iron, and a spare tire, all you have to do is take them outside then take about 5-10 minutes to to show them how to do it, then help them do it, then make them do it again to make sure they can do it alone.


What's wrong with using a YouTube video as a guide?

And looking at their phones. It sure had the vibe that they were Googling "how to change a flat tire" on their phones. They both looked clueless about what to do next.


poor CNN watching, Bernie Sanders loving, soy boys were just trying to get to the store to buy 100 rolls of toilet paper like the good little sheep they are.

so, just so im following, we are making fun of a group of people who are.......looking up how to do something because they dont have the knowledge and, once they do so, will have it going forward?

is that correct?

Can't imagine a driving age male, needing to "look up" how to change a tire. That's ridiculous.

It's actually very unsafe to change a tire roadside with all these distracted drivers.

Call for roadside assistance.

Changing a flat tire has nothing to do with class. Stop being a lazy bastard and take 10 minutes to change your own flat tire.

LOL at any man calling AAA and waiting 30 minutes or more for them to come change your flat tire. Lazy and spoiled soy boys.

Pay the guy with caution lights and a truck to block the path of oncoming traffic.

Pussification of America. I had a flat about 6 months ago. Called son who was off work- he was over an hour away. Called husband- he was in a meeting. Called roadside assistance- they told me approximately 2 hours to have someone there. I am a woman and older and I changed it myself. I wish I was lying when I say two campus police watched me and many college kids walked by.

I bet you $100 you couldn't figure out how to lower the spare on a Dodge Grand Caravan or Chrysler Town and Country without looking it up

Props to you.

You are more of a man than ANY of these so called “men” who call AAA. They’ll use any and every excuse in the book to justify their entitled mindset and laziness.

If it was a jeep, they likely had mechanical issues as well.
