Learned the hard way that run-flat tire cars don't have spares.

What an effin nightmare. I took Mrs. Lee's car to band practice today and found the LF tire flat when I went to leave. It was only 100 deg. out by then. No spare and no jack in the car. WTF? I recall it came with run-flats and she just put on traditional tires three weeks ago. I was at my drummer's house. His two Toyota jacks wouldn't fit beneath the car, which was even lower because of the flat. Had we been able to get the wheel off, the nearby Pep Boys was open until 6pm and could have repaired it. Tow truck took two hours to arrive. We had him dump it off at Discount Tire, which is where she got the tires. Of course, they don't have a night drop, so I have to swing by there on the way to my first day at work tomorrow to drop the keys off. Why does this car have a space in the trunk for a spare, but no spare or tools? Looks like there never were either in there.
