I've been driving for 35 years, never had a flat, don't know what the big deal is! I have AAA and I work in the industry, I keep up my vehicles and I pay attention to where I am driving. Tomorrow, I will probably have 2 or 3 flats, but I will still love driving the car, even though it has no spare! 8) By the way, while we are tracking such things as age, type of car, occupation,etc. how about the number of cars that anyone has owned over the years? My Crossfire is my 256th vehicle!!! Yes, I may only have owned some of them for a short time and some for many years, but I still have had 256 of them and every one was a joy in some way or another! Cheapest car I ever owned I paid $5.00 for when a guy got towed in to my shop in a 1966 Coupe de Ville that would not move, the trans filter was clogged solid! Did a trans service on it and drove it for three years. Sold it for $750. Cars, gotta love 'em.
