DANG IT! There's a jackstand under Dad's Mistress! Options

[Jamie]

Just had to dig out a jackstand for the RR tire replacement on Dad's Mistress, my 73 all original teener. Put new Michelin Pilots on all 4 corners less than 100 mi. ago, and drove her to Krogers to freshen up the battery charge. Came out to find a shiny nail in the very edge of the tread, and when I pulled it out the tire went flat PRONTO! Did I mention that it was 16 degrees F, and I'm changing the flat in a busy Kroger parking lot? Took it to tire dealer and it has to be replaced, so here's the question- do any of you CSOB's buy road hazzard insurance on your new rubber? This might be my first time to do so-it's $11 per tire for life of tread, which should be a long time on the "Mistress." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Now that you know pulling the puncturing object out leads to an immediate flat, you also know that if you come across a knife or screwdriver sticking in someone's chest or leg or something, LEAVE IT IN until you're in the OR!!!!!

Uhh, thanks biz - I'll remeber that next time someone stabs me with a screwdriver. Shit, I've already stabbed myself with just about everything in the garage. If I'd left everything in I'd look like Scissorhands, with garage materials instead of cutting implements.

Good to hear from you! How goes it woth the "basting bag"? Does it work?
