Yeah, I took the car to a tire shop to have 'em put on the spare. Ya
wanna make sumpin' of it?

Ya wanna know why?

Cause the last guy who changed my tires (at an otherwise excellent
former-Peugeot dealer) put the @#$%^ lug nuts on too tight! How tight? I
used a socket wrench with a three-foot piece of pipe for leverage, and I
broke the wrench. Okay, it was a cheapo wrench. But without the pipe, I
was just rockin' the car up and down. Din anybody ever hear of a torque
wrench?

I'm glad I didn't have a flat on the Interstate. That black zig-zag thing
that came with the jack might not have helped much. I guess that's why
they make Fix-a-flat.
