    car wheel damage

    For my automotive friends...see the following pic of a wheel we just got in. His wife had a flat, and Volvo no longer gives a spare tire. They give you fix-a-flat. When that didn't work, he took it off to find this hole. A bolt went through the tire and right through the wheel. Not totally rare, but not something seen too often.

    A lot of the manufacturers now give you a tire pump and fix a flat. Any of you guys that have a newer car , check the spare tire well. They don't even provide a jack. See this a lot on GM especially. Malibu's right up to Cadillacs.

    I think you can add Hyundai to that list.

    My spare is a little card in my wallet with the letters AAA on it.

    That's all well and good unless there is no cell signal. Lot of places in this country still get where that is commonplace.
