Wheres the spare tire on these cars, or do we even have one??? I just got a flat last night. I havent been out to look at it yet. Is there a jack and breaker bar as well?
Thanks guys!

Hopefully there's a spare in there, and it's inflated.

do not use a penny to open the cover, you must use a large flat screw driver, or at least a quarter...

Anyway, the spare will look ugly on the car...Just get the tire repaired, or buy a new one if necessary

DO NOT put it on the rear---posi unit will mess up--swap tires if u have to and put it on the front only.

I dont think people put spare tires on for looks, but I could be wrong.

maybe you'll find a nitous setup back there instead of a spare tire.

Thanks for all the advice guys! I havent even gone out to change it yet, still too pissed about it haha.
Glad you told me about the spare messin up the posi!!! Cuz its on the rear.
I'm just gonna gather up some money and buy new wheels/tires.
I knew this was coming, the car is completely stock.......guy before me didnt touch anything. It only had 46k on it.....thats why I bought it, guy probably didnt beat it into the ground judging by everything being stock.
These stock wheels/tires gotta go!
Thanks guys!

Soon you'll find an Optima Battery back there in place of mine, that is if I ever get energetic enough to do it. I'd rather drive it than work on it since the weather has been nice here.
