The economics also say that, if your wife or daughter come
out into a parking lot and find a flat tire, it is probably cheap to use
Fix
A Flat and drive to a competent tire repair center than to stay there
and call a
wrecker, or a tire service, etc.

I would think that simple economics would dictate that you use the
spare tire.

You have a wife or daughter, and suggest that;>)

My girlfriend knows how to change a tire, and has done so by herself.
she also knows how to check oil and also will turn on the heater when
the temp. gauge gets too close to "H." I don't know that she's ever
had to do it, but I would assume that she knows that when the oil
light comes on it's time to stop the engine, NOW. In fact, other than
her habit of abusing tires, clutches, and motor mounts (apparently she
watched me a little too closely when I was teaching her how to drive a
stickshift,) she's a pretty good driver.

Perhaps I should remind myself of this thread the next time she really
pisses me off.
