Sometimes it’s good to be knowledgeable about cars and be willing to help some one in distress. The other day, while driving north on US75, I saw a woman stopped on the side of the road. Her car had a flat tire on the left front and she was trying to change it herself. I had to double back on the service road to get to her.
By the time I arrived, she already had the car jacked up and had the spare out. She had not broken the lug nuts loose and since the car was already up on the jack, I had her get in the car and step on the brakes so I could break the lug nuts loose. When she got back out, I noticed that she left the door ajar. After breaking the lug nut loose it was a piece of cake. I got flat tire off, put the spare on, got the lug nut tight, let the car down off the jack and re-tightened the lug nuts.
When I started to put the flat tire in the trunk, the woman asked me to be gentle putting it in. She didn’t want me to wake her husband, who was asleep in the back seat.
