This also happened to me (see yesterday’s comment for how I got a flat tire in cowtopia). Well, sort of. The donut spare tire was okay, but it was nearly flat. They need around 50-60 PSI, and mine had somewhere around 15-20. And being in the middle of nowhere, the next exit dozens of miles away, I was driving along the shoulder at sub-55mph on a 70mph 2-lane freeway, white-knuckling it as semis passed me on my left. I finally made it to the exit and a gas station to fill up the spare with air. The irony was that I had a built-in tire inflator in the trunk—but the compressor died a few months prior.
My dad had a Chrysler Crossfire (2004). Front tires were a different size than the rear, so no spares for him. I did (strongly) encourage him to get a cell phone at that point.

ask them where are they from, Adam. If my doubts are correct hmmm they could be Finnish.

They have better sense than to try to converse with Adam.

Most cars are sold without a spare tire now.

Cows are introverts by nature. They won’t shut up once you get to know them.

Panel 4: Why is that cow looking at Adam’s south end? I’m not so sure I’d stand with my back to a bovine!

Adam wouldn’t know a story-worthy experience if it walked up and bit him.

What did we do before cellphones and rural cell service? Oh, yeah….walk, or hitch, or go talk to a farmer….now we just call our mommies.

And judging from the cow’s eyes, she’s thinking, “Just another horse’s @ss only in denim.”

Maybe try seeing the world from the cows perspective, they may be more chatty with you then.

“Guy talking on cellphone” – there’s an idea that can be stretched out for a week.

Many auto manufacturers have eliminated the spare tire to maximize fuel efficiency by cutting weight.
