Had a flat recently in my three month old 2015 car. Ran over something sharp

Had just purchased tacos to go on way to car line. 30 deg out. Highway.

A flat?

Pulled over. Called towing from my insurance company. They cane out one hour later after Fam and we had a good visit thanks Mexican road food

Guy Changed the tire. Advised me get out of the spare ASAP. Went to dealer. Lo. Had purchased tire deal. Watched jeopardy in wait room. Coffee Into new tire. Home by seven. Fam happy and safe

Total cost...annual premium + leased car with warrantee

Told girls, that’s how you change a tire

Been there done that. Nope

Years ago, while driving me back to college, my mom got a flat in the worst neighborhood of North Philly.

My father who was with us was dying of cancer and too weak to help, so my mom and I got the jack out and started to change it, when three black teens stopped their car, and offered to help. They changed the tire and left, after refusing a tip.

So stop making racial stereotyping.

I should note we were not suburbanites who trembled at the sight of three black teens, but inner city ethnics who treated them like we treated anyone.
