New Wheels & Flat Tires

I went car shopping on Saturday! And, yes, I did decide to go with the Prius. Unfortunately, the dealership didn't have one in stock, so I have to wait for them to call me about it this week. I need, need, need it by Friday if I'm going to make it to Nebraska this weekend. Why? Because I am not taking my P.O.S. of a Chrysler Sebring - it gets flat tires constantly. Until I got this car four years ago, I had never replaced a tire. I've replaced each of the four tires on the Sebring at least once, if not twice. And as a bonus "good-bye gift" from my current ride, as soon as I left the Toyota dealership I got a flat tire! I had to call roadside assistance and all that good stuff, because it was way to cold for the me to change the tire myself. The last thing I need is to get a flat tire during a snow storm out in Nebraska.

Do you know how to change a tire? If not, you should. Especially you ladies! I mean it. Stop letting everyone else do these easy, yet intimidating, tasks for you. Here's a little help below, and I suggest you file this info in the "Just in Case" folder of your brain.



Cheers!
