Fixing a Flat

shlby123 · Mar 23, 2006

Not familiar with my lx yet, and i got a flat, I go to get the jack from the trunk and it's rusted to ****, and im not even sure its completely intact, and i couldnt ind the best place to put it under the car to lift the car up. Sounds retardedly basic, but i cant afford to screw anything or bend up anything under the car, does any body have a pic of the best place?

As with just about anything, it's easy once you know how. For the front wheels, reach under the car right next to the wheel, and you'll feel a metal ridge. Follow that ridge with your hand towards the back of the car. You'll feel a notch in the metal not too far from the wheel. That's the jack point for the front. You find the rear one the same way - start at the rear wheel, find the metal ridge, and follow it towards the front of the car. You'll find a similar notch which is perfect for the jack.

The metal ridge that meets the spring behind the tire?

No, the ridge under the side skirt. Face the tire, and reach under the side skirt. You'll find the ridge.

Fixing a flat?

you guys still do that?
Triple Aaaaaaa brotha!

Hell, I even use my 1 free tow a month to drag my drunken ass home from bars.

What you do is, go out to a bar, drive, and get JUICED... like HAMMED.

Then:
Call Triple A (AAA) and say you cant start your car, it's busted. (don't forget to ask for a flatbed)
they'll come by in 30 mins (enough time to sober up enough to sputter the words) "yep, car don't start, tow me home *hiccup*"

and voilà! you are home, safe and sound, with the stang in your driveway...
no dui for you!

doesn't cost you squat.

a triple a membership costs $100/year
and that entitles you to 1 free tow a month within like a 30 mile radius.

and i don't know about you, but my car doesn't break down once a month to warrant a tow... so what happens with those tows you don't use? nothin!

you might as well use them up.

yes, but you're missing the point.

I would have roadside assistance REGARDLESS.

I mean, if i'm in butt**** nowhere and my car breaks down on the highway, I don't plan on fixing the issue while stranded on a highway with my wrench.

Thus, I mean, if you got it, use it... kinda like a penis.

it's just beggin to be used.
