I was on the Bishop Ford Freeway (back then it was called the Calumet Expressway) in Chicago, just past the 103rd Street exit. Changing a tire for the first time on an expressway will make you an expert real fast. -------------------- Mike F. May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

The only day I took Ange's Jeep to work, the tire blows on the Whitemud freeway. I've never even looked at a jack system like that, but learned REAL fast. Friggin MOPAR. Can't they do anything normal? -------------------- Caw "I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature....

I hate those

hand cranked knucklebusters!

I have asked for one of the normal jacks for several Christmases & birthdays now. Since I'm the one who does all the tire changing, you'd think they'd get it for me, but no.

I drove the car the extra 1/2 mile to get it onto the exit ramp, then walked to the gas station and called AAA! No way I was attempting that at night. Normally, though, I carry a small floor jack in the trunk of my car. Those ones that they give you are worthless! --------------------
