Okay... first of all let me just say.... I don't do tires :roll: Thats what the DH is for right :roll: I always know where my spare is just in case though. My first car was in truck, the next two vans were under it and the car I have now is inside in a well in the back.....
Now when the tire comes out from under it while you are driving the car that makes for interesting stories. Yep thats what happened.
I was at the Wal Mart with my trusty steed "The Chevy Astro" van. I was alone. No kids No husband. I pulled into the plaza drive and turned on the frontage road and into the parking lot. Sunglasses on, music blaring, no kids screaming I mean really what could be better on a saturday afternoon. When all of a sudden the back of my van jumped about 12 inches off the ground and came back down. It shocked me to say the least :lol: I looked in the rear view mirror to see a cloud of dust bigger than the van. Red dust as in rust :lol: :lol: :lol: good ol WNY snow and salt. I saw something out of the corner of my eye and sure enough it was my full size spare rolling across the parking lot and off into the ditch :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: I was mortified. I pulled into a parking spot not really sure what to do. This lady pulled up next to me to tell me I had lost my spare tire. I immediatly without missing a beat said to her "Thats not my spare tire" she must have thought I was nuts. :lol: :lol: :lol: I called my husband with the local payphone and calling card.....what was a cellphone..... He told me to go get it and bring it home that it was a perfectly good tire. I said NO WAY.... He said GO GET THE TIRE... I said if you want it you come get it. Now let me point out that the Walmart is 20 miles from my house. I went shopping and came home to be greeted by DH wanting to know where the spare was... I replied with laughter and tears that it was still in the ditch. There was NO WAY I was going to go pick it up with everyone wondering whose spare was there. Thats my spare tire story and I am sticking to it.
