Had a flat tire today.
Needless to say, it was wonderful on my back! I can't win for losing!!
Anyhow, here's my story: I had to change my tire on my Silverado. I got out the jack and read the directions on how to properly jack it up. I put it on the axle area between the shock and the wheel like it instructed me to. I jacked it up and removed the tire. I got the tire fixed and returned to put it back on. I jacked it up as far as it would go, and it wasn't tall enough to get my tire on there!! I had to go to my neighbors house and borrow his from his van! WTF? I followed the directions right- what is the deal with that? Has GM gotten so cheap that they can't even give a decent jack that works right? I gotta admit I'm pretty irritated by it.

Re: Had a flat tire today.
I guess I could've called them, huh? I didn't even think about it! Oh well, she's all set now.

Re: Had a flat tire today.
After a dear friend of mine was struck by a car and killed while changing a flat tire, I won't go anywhere near the task. Not unless I'm in a parking lot or somewhere far away from traffic, and on a flat, hard surface.
