that too happened to us but it was a fire truck that stopped to help us. they offered us one of their tires off the fire truck, i think it was the front tire, and we were off. ironically there was a fire on the freeway and the fire truck couldn't respond because they donated their front tire to help our dilema.

Good Grief!
In Silly's defense there was this one time I slugged and we did get a flat on the freeway and the slug had a spare but it was just the rim. No tread. Didn't quite understand that but we were stuck for about 20 minutes when a service truck came along and had a spare for us to use. Other than that, you are nutty, Sillybilly |

This is what those people call "fluff" SillyBilly you should take your show on the road...but don't slug it around with you!
No one would actually show up to pick up slug with a flat...much less tell you they have no spare! What in the world are you thinking or smokin'? |

Although...we rode once with a driver who had a flat tire and no spare to replace it.i guess it was our fault for getting in. he was the last car for the evening. i saw the flat tire, got in and hoped that he was going to fix it. we sat for five minutes and he goes"you realize i have a flat tire? and i don't have a spare.
and what's the deal with those cars with no drivers that keep going up and down the street all day? it's like watching a ghost drive a car. |

Yeah, REAL crappy traffic, get it? Number two? Crappy? Hello?
Ok, sorry. I don't think I would have pushed a station wagon, at least call a service truck with one of those hooks on the back. Are you sure there are even station wagon accords? If I was a driver, and I don't know if this is excessive or not, I would carry an extra battery, jumper cables, flashlight, spare tire, and gas can. |

quote: You know your car better than anyone else and how far to push it. I would have kept on going. Good choice, though, Rte. 234. [:D] Also, in determining which exit to get off to get gas, make sure its an exit that will allow you back onto the HOV - which I think is only the Springfield area. I was in a carpool a few years ago and had to use the bathroom so badly that I made them pull off on an exit so I could go. Traffic was atrocious of course, but I had to use the bathroom so bad that I couldn't even stand up straight. But anyway, of course when we were going back to the interstate there was no where to get back on the HOV (We got off at Woodbridge) and we had to sit in crappy traffic. Boy it sucked....... |

Last year something similar happened to me, but I was the driver. I picked up a couple of slugs at the Pentagon. As we approached the HOV lane one slug commented on my gas light. I was assured that we would make it home (have calculated my MPG from the time the light turns on til "empty"). But I started getting nervous because I felt he jinxed me :) Well all was going well until we hit Edsall rd., it was backed up some and then my nerves got worse. I asked my slugs for their opinion. They both said it was up to me. Well I kept on watching my speed, then my gas, back to my speed, then the traffic. Well now I started thinking strategically. If I got off at Springfield, it would take a while to get gas and get back on HOV. Woodbridge would've taken longer. So I made it to 234 and pumped $5. Both slugs appreciated that I got gas and they also appreciated that I took 234 to do so.
Although I kept it safe, I still think I would've made it home :) |
