I can do basic maintenance, but it seems like they intentionally design these modern cars so you can't do it. My friend had a flat tire a few months ago, and got fuming mad when she discovered her car did not have a spare tire, and in fact requires a special machine to change the tire. She was, by design, forbidden from being allowed to change the tire herself and was forced to go to a shop. It's absurd.
@UnderLockDown Better hope a tow truck can find you, I guess! Seriously, that's such a safety concern, and it bothers me that they think this is a good idea.
@FaeLuna In more than forty years of driving I have never changed a wheel on the road because of a flat tyre. It has only happened twice. Once I was able to just drive slowly home because I was almost there and the second time I hit a pot hole at night on a country road where I would not have felt safe changing the wheel even if I had a spare. I've had eight cars so far and all had spare wheels except the latest one but it was just excess weight for all those years.
@FaeLuna that is scary. I don't know if I could change mine. I drive a lot of roads with no signal. Thank ya for sharing as it gave me something to check into that I would have never thought of before
@FaeLuna@LilPrincess yes. There are some things designed to fail or they make it hard to fix on purpose.. Its called planned obsolesence. For example infinite light bulbs exist already so does free energy. they just dont sell them because theyre scared that nobody will buy light bulbs anymore. Cars can also be powered by water as fuel. a guy discovered how to do it and they confiscated his stuff. And told him its illegal to make cars that use water as fuel. Nichola tesla discovered free energy that takes energy from the air.. and they got really mad at him for that. He wanted to give everyone free energy. Its possible but the company's or something dont want that
