i hate society

[Accord problems]

for good reason . i stop and help any one that is stranded on the side of the road . then when i just have a flat tire no one want's to help . only one person offered help that was driving a cb3 . not one person that was coming in or out of this house or church what ever it was offered help. only one person driving boy offered help ( the cb3 ) . i end up driving all the way back on a flat with my wife and child .
driving back with that was no fun . it was hitting on every little thing .



sorry it was a CA6 Accord .

^^ If that ever happens again, I would recommend putting the toy tire on the back, and bring a back wheel to the front, it should drive significantly better until you can get a replacement tire.

What caused the flat in your tire if you don't mind me asking? I presume the punctured tire couldn't be re-inflated even temporarily?

this is why you learn to count on only yourself. that damsel attitude and justifying it because you help saps is detrimental to your perception of reality.

I drive for a living. I get 3-4 flats a year on average. Nobody has ever helped me change it. I never expected them to, either. What help could they offer? What could they possibly do that I can't do myself? They'd just be in the way. Company while I fixed my car.

Someone in California imported a CB3?

the only reason i need help is because i have no jack and no four way . the last person i loaned it to did not give it back . they just moved out off town .



edit : to far from a tire shop i was in Ceres close to walmart with only enough money to buy a used tire . guess thats what i get for going to the park .


sorry deev it was a ca6 .

You really need to get a jack.

ya the guy was really cool . his jack would not support my car.
i do agree with that . i order one from ebay for 5 bucks till i can get the oem one from honda .

[deevergote]

You could probably just pick one up from the junkyard. To my knowledge, all Honda jacks are the same (for the older cars, anyway.)

[Accord problems]

Funny to read this, since i had to learn this the hard way

Back in my hometown Puerto Rico, it didnt matter if you ran out of gas, blew head gasket overheated or had a flat, some one WILL pull over and help you out
at most 25minutes
if you have a female waiting time will be less

I still stop everytime i can to help out, since i always carry tools with me, almost everytime people give me money to help out.

I learned this the hard way moving to the states, unfortunately people are either too busy to help or cant even help at all, also remember nowadays thats how mofos get robbed, killed, and kidnapped.

You hating society because of this is stupid, I believe in karma my friend, I am constantly helping ppl out whenever I can, and fortunately enough when I do get stranded I get helped

[illinois_erik]

loaned out your tools and never got them back..man that sucks. 4 ways are crap. get the oem wrench or a 19mm socket and cheap breaker bar, you could get a small jack bar and socket from harbor freight for no more than 30 bucks. and sidewalls dont just give out all of the sudden(unless heavy impact), there musta been a knot there for a while..so check your shit so you dont have to do this again or be further up the creek w/o a paddle. ^5

This is why I carry a hydraulic jack and tools in my trunk. Even in my 6G. A full-size spare would also help.

And people don't stop because they're assholes. They don't stop because other people are assholes. People are afraid to stop in fear that they'll be stabbed, shot, or carjacked.

When I was younger I was driving around in a car with a leaking headgasket. I usually didn't go anywhere but work and home but one night I went out of my way to take a co-worker home. On my way home my car finally took a shit and left me on the side of the highway, in the middle of nowhere, at midnight. I was passed by 3 cop cars and a motorcycle cop. I was FREAKED. Luckily, the one guy who stopped had a cell phone.

Moral of the story; as has been said, don't depend on anyone but yourself.

[Accord problems]

i don't depend on anyone it's just pisses me off that i try my best to help other people and no even thinks to help other people . o word of advice don't loan out tools .

I did that in the Fit for a long time. Full spare, donut, hydraulic jack, stock jack... i wasn't leaving anything to chance!
