To be fair, it's not a particularly often-needed skill.  The fact that I've had to swap tires on the fly four times within 10 years of driving is in and of itself pretty surprising, and probably a testament to how shitty the roads are in my county.  Tire change #4 sucked tremendously, though- that was the time the tire blew with the car pointed downwards on a hill, the car slipping off the jack, and it ending up needing me, three Mexicans, and two jacks to get the job done. :angry:
Experience bij!

Meh, I'm not impressed. 

As we discovered in an earlier thread, the average languishite doesn't know how to change tires at all.

Yeah, what's weird is I've probably got more experience of changing car tyres than the majority of Languishites (the ones who drive too)
