Nope. I can call AAA though, that's about it.

Yes, we had to learn when we went through Driver's Ed. I haven't done it since though but I could do it if I didn't have any other options.

i've never tried or had to. But I'm sure I can figure it out.

Only if the darn lug nuts weren't put on by the gun thingie they use at the mechanic. They put them on TOO tight. Even DH has a lot of trouble with them then.

Yes (at least I think I can- I have done it a long time ago). But not on my car. The lug nuts are rusted on there. Even the mechanics have trouble getting them off.

Yes! I'm a country girl and my Dad made me demonstrate that I could change my own tire and change my oil before I could get my driver's license. I have changed flat tires before (although usually a man will stop and help me because they think I am helpless), and I can still change my own oil They are great skills to have, and I'll make Claire learn how, too.

Now that I have Claire, though, it would depend on my situation if I'd actually change my own tire. I'd be much more likely to call AAA now...I don't want to be sitting along the interstate in a blazing hot car with her inside.

Yes! My Dad made me rotate my tires by myself when I was 16 so I would learn. It has come in handy several times, I seem to be a flat tire magnate.
