Flat Tire

How to change a flat tire!

Good Morning chaps! Today we will be learning how to change a flat tire if such an occasion arises. This morning for instance, my 1924 Jalopy got a flat while taking the bunnies to the park. Fortunately, a helpful fox leapt out of the bushes to help.

“Hello! Sly the fox here! I will be instructing all you nice listeners and bunnies *licks lips and starts to salivate* on how to change your tire”:

Step 1: First, determine which tire is flat. You can find out in one of 2 ways: either drive over a pothole, and see which tire gets stuck in the pothole, or bite down on each tire and see which one doesn’t give you a sore jaw. *begins to chew on one of the tires* *Pop!* “Haha, oops, now you have 2 flats.”

Step 2: Next, we need to get the spare tire and tools out of the trunk. *Begins to root through the Jalopy’s trunk and throws tools everywhere* “Aha! Here we are. Now we just wheel it over to the flat tire, and grab our jack and tire iron.” *starts to uncontrollably chase one of the bunnies before reaching to pick up the tire iron*. Sorry little fella! *grins widely*

Step 3: We jack up the car, by placing the jack near the tire with the flat. …And we begin to lift the car. *lifts the car about 3 feet off the ground* There! A nice place to sit out of the rain eh? Okay, now to take the old tire off. You use this funny looking stick to take off the bolts holding the tire on. *yanks tire off. Tire is too heavy and rolls away from Sly the Fox*. Oops! Runaway tire!

Step 4: Okay! *pants* we’ve caught the old tire, and placed it back in the trunk. *Old tire has teeth, and claw marks on it now*. We just need to put on the spare tire. Luckily for us, it’s a small ‘donut’ tire, and a little easier to move about. *Meanwhile, the jack falls out from under the car and the car smashes to the ground*. Haha, sorry Sheepdog. No worries, we’ll just replace the jack and lift the car up again. *crashes around trying to wield the jack long enough to place under the car*. Whew! Okay, we put on the spare tire, and bolt it on using the same bolts as before. There seems to be a few extra parts we didn’t have before, but that’s okay!

Step 5: Now, we lower the jack from the car! *Kicks jack out from under the car. The car smashes to the ground again, bounces briefly on the donut tire along with an audible crunch*. And it’s just that simple! *Sheepdog is looking sadly at his car while the bunnies begin to dash away from the hungry fox whose saliva is forming a large puddle near his feet*.

By for now folks! Remember, if you need your car fixed, just call Sly the Fox! *chases bunnies*
