I too feel for you Kly. I hate days that start out with the worst possible thing.

I'd hate being all dressed up and getting dirty too. I would have never been able to change a tire. Even if I did figure it out, I'd probably not be able to tighten the lugnuts tight enough, and with my luck, the tire would fall off thus causing another series of problems.

So, needless to say, it would have been a call to AAA for me.

Sorry for your horrible day.
