You can find them on sale at an auto parts store sometimes. Not too expensive and well worth it when you need it. Make sure you buy a good four way wrench not a cheap one that will break. These two tools have saved my butt more than once and my friends. John a little advice for next time, get a four way wrench and a floor jack.

I only ever had a flat when I was 19. A carload of young boys stopped to help me, but they would up watching me change it myself because they didn't have a clue :) I wish I'd read this earlier today. I suck at writing sales letters. Copywriting is really tough when you don't do it all the time. I used copywriting books and the webpages of great copywriters to inspire me. But it didn't work - I wound up feeling totally inferior and I still didn't get the letter finished. Normally I would give up and outsource but I'm so snapped this year, after sinking that business. <abbr><em>Cath Lawsons last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuccessPasscode/~3/460282009/" rel="nofollow">Does Your Business Really Understand People?</a></abbr></em> Hi John – I’m glad you saw sense and went to the garage in the end.

We pay $126 a year for two drivers. Do you have the Plus membershop? Where do you live? We're in the northeast. It might be more expensive here. @ JoniB

I could feel the tension and the traffic roaring by you. AAA is NOT expensive. It is cheap when you think of all the valium and beer you save by just having it a phone call away. We pay $83/year for 2 drivers and have used it on countless occasions. (Arizona + batteries = frequently dead) Great article, John! I could feel the tension and the traffic roaring by you.

Always good advice. @ Craig Very true, but because I fixed it myself, i was able to take it back to the people who sold me the tire and have it fixed for free. @ DD I am always in some sort of trouble. @ Anne Yes, the thought of working from home seemed quite nice last Friday. @ Perle We guys have to fix our own tires. it's a rule or something. @ Raffaele C.
