Yesterday I was driving down I-35 from Duluth when I see a small HB pulled off the side of the highway. As I got closer I realized my eyes REALLY where viewing a nice looking, red festiva, with two rather nice looking females standing next to it. I darted across the lanes (no one was around) and put on my hazards. They had a front drivers flat. Looking like a good opportunity to be a hero, I got ready to change the tire. I placed the stock festy wrench on the bolts and kicked them with my boot (my typical way of breaking the rust off)...
THOSE SUCKERS WOULD NOT BUDGE!!!!
All four where so rusted in place I ended up bending the wrench around like a corkscrew. Of couse this was one of the only times I didn't have my bag o's tools with me. As much as I wanted to save the day for these nice ladies (a middle-age mom and her fine teenage off-spring) I was completely stumped.
So I left them to call a tow truck, who hopefully didn't take too much advantage of the situation....bummer...
I did mention our site. It would have been nice to get that tire changed and have them show up here raving about yours truly....but oh well.
