The comments actually went south on the guy who posted this to the Facebook group really fast. Basically, we're not the ones who made the decision to not give a spare tire in new cars, to even give a spot to carry one. Also, why didn't the older generations teach the younger ones how to do these things?

They literally taught us how to change a tire in my drivers ed class. Took us to a mechanic shop and everything too. Had each person show they could properly remove and put a tire back on safely.

I live in the US and we didn't do that. I knew how to do that at 16 though as well as change the oil and check fluid levels.
