The simple act of changing a tire—how can such a small task make the average onlooker feel so useless? I’ve driven for more than 10 years and have never once changed a single tire on anything. This man, with confidence oozing out of his headphones, makes it seem like such an easy feat. A couple of screws, a few pumps on the drill trigger, and bob’s your uncle.
Winter is approaching, and my dad starts reminding me to change my tires, usually in September. Every time I see him, he looks at me with a concerned gaze and says, “Don’t forget to change your tires, book an appointment.” I usually dismiss it and ask him what he had for lunch.
All of this to say, I really want to start learning how to change a tire. What do I need? A drill and a lift? If that’s all it takes, I can have this up and running by the end of the week.
