Flat tires suck!
On my Z06. Just in case you don't know, Corvettes don't come with jacks. And if you try to use a regular floor jack without the jack pads, you'll tear the bottom right out of the car. And the Z06 does NOT come with run flat tires, so you get a lil can of fix-a-flat. Was talking to Wormy this morning bout Z06 Corvettes, and went out to enjoy the site of my baby. Driver side rear was flat...Put 35 lbs in it, headed to the dealership. Get this - they can' fix it, have to send it out. The dealership's tire machine will tear up the rim, gotta take it to a tire place. Needed to get the oil changed in any case, so left it with them and came back to the crib. Jumped in the Honda, ran out and bought an electric hedgetrimmer and a tree saw. Man, that hedge trimmer rocks! On the other hand, think I'm going to leave tree trimming to the experts. Just a lil too scary to do myself, without anyone tending a line on the tree branch, etc.

Man, your post ended up in a different place than it was heading when it started 
I have no experience with 'vettes. But yes, flats suck.
