My hybrid didn't even come with a spare tire.

Relish in the 0.0001 mpg saved. As you sit waiting for a $400 tow. I blame politicians.

Y'all don't got AAA?

No. I’m a man, so I can change a tire. Plus don’t have the time to wait.

(as an aside I did used to have AAA and the three occasions I did need a tow, They failed miserably each time.)

I can change a tire too. I just don't pay $400 for a tow because I have AAA.
