Today she learned how to change a tire. I made her use her Mom's Expedition, and since it was about 95, she got dirty AND sweaty. She did very well and now understands why I use a floor jack and impact wrench.
Her first "car" is a 1953 3600, so she needs to know how to jack a truck. Even with no A/C or power steering she is very happy with her vehicle choice. She can hardly wait to be able to haul her horse around on her schedule instead of mine.

theres a tool for every job,and that tool is a hammer. it's easy to give advice if it's not your pocket book at stake. A well thought out plan,Is nothing. Untill exacuted twice.

Tires are far more reliable now than they were 40+ years ago, but a lesson in responsibility never hurts.
