Default flat tire help

Several years ago I was returning from a trip to Arizona in my LAE. I stopped for gas at some easy off-easy on place on I-10 in the LA basin.

As I was pulling out from the station I noticed a young lady, in some kind of ricer, with a flat pull into a vacant lot. She pulled way over to the back side of the lot where no one could have seen her in time to stop and render assistance, so I did.

She wanted to do it alone, I guess she thought I had other plans, but I went ahead and helped her anyway being as courtious as I could.

It was a good thing because the lugs were stuck so tight that she had to stand, and bounce, on the lug wrench, as I held it on the lug nut, to break a couple of them loose.

With the tire changed, she proceede on her way, and so did I. We never even exchanged names.

I hope that she will always have a little respect for old guys in Cobras.
