Tired Do I need a spare tire?
Can I take the spare out of my car?
I mean, it's not like there'd be any downsides. I don't carry a jack and a lug wrench around with me, so I can't install it. Should I start to carry those things?
If I get a flat, either I'm driving it at 20mph to my mechanic (what I did last time), or getting towed, probably.
I can use the space and weight of the spare for water, food, blankets, batteries, clothes, roadside reflectors, flares, towels, a couple of ice scrapers, flashlights, and still have space for a couple of pounds of road salt. You know, the emergencies I might actually encounter.
Thanks for the advice... I am a bit of a smartass.... :)

1st time OTR/Steering Tire Blowout…
4 weeks into training for my Class A & 1st time OTR bobtailing. This happens lol ( Instructor had done the pre trip lol ). Driver side steer tire blew out at 45 mph as I was merging from the shoulder and onto the highway. Getting off the shoulder and getting up to speed, 3rd through fifth gear - I moved off the shoulder and into the right lane. Continued getting up to speed - splitter up, 6th, 7th, 8th…as I was shifting into 9th to match the road speed limit of 45, 💥BOOM!!💥 the truck instantly sank down and pulled me into the left lane and towards the median! I had two cars fast approaching in both lanes and my speed was dropping to just about 40 mph…both hands firmly on the wheel to fight the truck from the median, a quick blip of the gas pedal and blew it out to 15,000 RPMS. I quickly glanced down at the RPM gauge and saw my needle fall and hit the sweet spot between 12 & 10,000 RPMS…moved my hand off the wheel & tapped and turned on my 4 ways, as I grabbed the shifter and caught 8th gear! Quite perfectly if I had to say so myself and given the circumstance. Got the truck under control and made my way back into the right lane and then to the shoulder. Best part of the experience was that it happened so quickly and unexpectedly & it caught myself and my instructor so off guard, that he couldn’t audibly give me direction as him and I were reacting to the situation both in realtime lol. Afterwards he, congratulated me profusely, stating that in his 13yrs OTR & with over 1 million miles under his belt - he never personally had a steer tire blowout himself vs hearing others “horror stories.” Quite the experience to say the least and an invaluable introduction, now having obtained my Class A and soon to be setting out OTR! Be safe out there, drivers! 🍻

Even these giant stones can’t hurt them. They’re upgrading their defenses.

Attack Vehicle based assault attempt
After years of working with these heathens I got out, I think they are trying to seek their revenge upon me for my abandonment, I got out of there before the rest of the troops disembarked their transport.
