Default How to change a flat tire
A friend of mine has a teenaged son and couldn't teach him how to change a flat until he found this on the net.

In drivers ed we were all told to do a flat changeout and put everything back in trunk properly.
When it came this one girls turn she said"Im not going to change a flat Im a girl".
Instructor took one look at her and said"youre right you wont need to if you keep wearing skirts that short"
FYI that was when miniskirts were in fashion

I dont know how you arrived at getting that pic and wont ask but they wouldnt let girls dress like that in my HS.
Good thing too or none of the guys would have graduated.
Actually this girl also commented that she would just stand next to the car
and some "nice" guy would come along and help.
And yes Ive stopped and helped change a tire,even if they didnt look like above pic.

Ha! well, I just went to Google images and typed in girl changing tire and found a few pic. That one fit the bill best.
Yep..I've been known to stop and help a damsel in distress before, but unfortunately, they were not nearly as good looking as the one in the pic. Close though. They almost always do appreciate a guy that stops to help.

I found two more that may get a laugh also. They're a bit older than that first pic, but on this subject. (Sort of...) No more after these!

My wife wanted to know what I was doing?

I gladly informed her I was watching educational video's on line so I could complete her ''Honey DO'' list!

Only trouble is no matter how many times I watch I just don't learn a damm thing.

I retain alot of images but can't seem to remember exactly what they were doing!

I changed a flat tire for a car load of Italian Nuns once. I think that gives me a few points.
