Tire Troubles

Its obvious from the title that I had a flat tire, but due to the circumstances it was an interesting experience. I was on my way to the airport to pick someone up and I got the flat tire on the highway on a ramp. At this point I attempted to change the tire in 104 degree temperature with a jack that was pretty much broken. However after 20 minutes and completely burned hands I was done. I got to the airport picked up my passenger and headed back. Here’s where it gets worse, on the way back my spare popped, so there I am sitting on the side of the highway with a blown tire and no spare. Of course I called someone and they came and picked us up. I took one of the tires with me, went to a tire shop, got it replaced, came back and put it on, then I took the car back to the tire shop to get the rest of my tires checked out and to get a new spare. But all of that is not the point of this post, I’m pretty sure no one cares that I had a  flat tire, the point of this post is that through this experience I learned 3 valualbe lessons. 1 Owning a car means more than just driving it, you have to care for and maintain the car. 2 In situations like these people get very agitated and frustrated, but even in that state of frustration we should remember not only as good Muslims but as decent human beings that it is a freak accident which is no ones fault and pointing fingers and blaming one another does no one any good. 3 Everyone should have a AAA membership!
