Lug Wrench for God's sake??

[NYNick]

I've owned 2 996's and 2 997's, my latest a 2009TT. I recently moved that car to another home, one without all the tools and accessories I have at at my other place.

I decided to remove the wheels to clean them up for summer storage, being OCD and all. So I bought a cheapo jack, and decided to clean them up yesterday.

For God's sake, for $154K MSRP you think they could include a lug wrench? I understand I have entered the world of no spare tire and fix a flat, but come on guys…a lug wrench?

How much money did they save by not including that in the tool kit? That's just ridiculous.

If they don't give you a spare or jack, why would you need a lug wrench? That is why you get a can of flat fix and cheap tire inflator.................

Understood. They have come a long way from when these were cars you could actually work on, much less even change a tire!…and not in a good way!
