Because the tire represents your hopes and dreams, your innermost unspoken secrets and hidden desires. Now that the tire is busted flat out you have no way to reach your destination. You're lost and alone. You've not got the means to move on! It feels like the end of the road for you!

Either that or it's a penis thing.

Um...puncture repair kit?

Hug?

Hot chocolate?

Wanna drink cheap wine and watch movies from underneath a blanket tent on the living room floor?

Why, I'm all for that Kim, thanks for asking.

Technology can be so frustrating. I know a tire isn't high tech, but it's supposed to make things quicker, not slower. I had a big problem with my computer today and I was so angry I threw my floppy disk out the window and screamed 'fuck!' I know that a computer is faster than a typewriter, really, but that 'errr- errr- er-er- err' noise the floppy disk drive makes when you're already late for an appointment is unbearable!

Someone once told me that americans don't spell tyre like the rest of the world and I walked around for days thinking they spelt it tyr (and thinking that was pretty cool too - my cat's dad's name was Tyr). Then I read something on the 'net where it was spelt tire. I did not what to believe it. Just plain yuck. No wonder you feel sad, having to think about a flat tire.

Think about a flat tyre instead and I you will feel a little more joyous.

think how — topologically speaking — it has changed category: instead of being equivalent to a teacup with one handle, it is now equivalant to a sports trophy with TWO handles hurrah

Hi Mike:) Are you near a garage?

But whilst the tire is flat could you not go for a walk, perchance you will stumble across the entrance to the hollow earth! That'd be an adventure!

thirteen years pass...

changed my first spare today unassisted, at 34 years of age. it should feel pathetic but this is now the second minor bit of automotive maintenance I've done in two years. gimme 34 more and I might be able to be dangerous

The one thing I can do to a car where I don't need the help of a professional.

I'm pretty sure I could learn how to change the oil but fuck that.
