wrenching on your car in crappy weather
Another time my brother, dad, friend, and I went to a car show in Wisconsin. This was during the summer luckily. On the way home I was driving my dad's Laser and they were following me in the truck pulling the Superbird.
As I'm pulling up to a toll booth on the Chicago toll road, I feel one of the tires pop on the Laser. I'm 5th in line for the toll booth, and dad and the gang are in the truck behind me. I ran back to the truck while waiting in line for the toll and told them that I had blown a tire. They said to pull over after paying the toll and we would fix it.
After I paid my toll, I pulled through and then over to the shoulder of the road. Dad and gang helped get the tools and floor jack out of the back of the truck (we had brought just in case). It was beautiful. We were like a NASCAR pit crew.
I loosened the lug nuts, while my brother jacked up the car. My friend got the spare tire out of the Laser. Jack up the car, take off the flat, put on the spare, secure the lugs, lower the car, and then recheck the lugs. Then put the tools and jack back in the back of the truck and we were back on the road in less than 10 minutes!
I love it when a plan comes together....
