...but it involved my teenage years, a bottle of this, a 12 pack of that, a whole bunch of something else *coughcough* and a flat tire.
Couldn't for the life of me keep my balance while trying to loosen and tighten the lugs on the wheel on my 1984 Mazda 626. Woke up the next morning and it looked like I tried to carve some hieroglyphic symbols into the rear door and quarter panel with the lug wrench.
Oh yeah...not to mention I had the jack in the wrong place and bent the hell out of something underneath too.
At least I made it home! :)
