Sad indictment of the times...but some cars today come with no spare...just an air pump and a can of goo. My Bullitt came with no spare, salesman saying the 18" wheel tire wouldn't fit in the spare well. So, I got a 17" spare, jack, lug wrench & mounting brackets from a wrecked GT for $100...figure I may have to change two tires if the flat is on the back for fear of damaging the limited slip, but at least I could limp to a tire shop.
Now, before you laugh at Ford for this? BMW M-3...same thing.
Christien...good on ya for helping the girl out!
