Loosen bolts, jack car, remove bolts, remove tire, attach new tire, reattach bolts, lower car, tighten bolts, claim man points.

    Men, if you can’t fix the toilet, I got nothing.

    But if it breaks often, you have a bigger problem than a minor repair. One you might need to have a doctor look at.

    I actually think removing blood from fabric is something that women will always know more about than men…

    I feel like I know how to escape a sinking car. Is there something about it that I probably don’t know?

    • Mike Kennedy says:

      You’re suppose to wait until the car is filled with water until you open your door. Trying to open your door when there is an air gap all around you makes it extremely difficult to open the door and escape because of the different pressures, and it’ll send water smashing into your face.

        Hey, subtle must be your mdidle name. Great post!

        Also, you want to conserve all the energy that you have… So its better to let the door stay closed until the pressure level is even.

        • FormerWaterman says:

          One small flaw in the “Wait for it to fill” plan. Namely, it will take a very long time.
          How long can you hold your breath? Long enough for a car to completely fill with water and equalize pressure, then open the door, egress, and get all the way to the surface while wearing soaking-wet clothes and probably shoes as well? Bear in mind, the car is sinking deeper and deeper the whole time it’s filling up.

          You’re probably better off getting a spring-loaded carbide centerpunch from a hardware store, and keeping it clipped to your seatbelt. That way, when/if the car goes into the water, you can just blow out the window and exit before the car submerges completely.

          Just a thought, from a guy who used to work on the water, and then in emergency response.
