Dodge Caravan in for repairs and needed to put the spare on to move it around the shop. Got to looking and the damn thing is mounted between the front driver and passenger seat underneath the van. No way in hell could anyone get this thing out on the side of the road in the middle of the night. The tools provided to unscrew and lower it from inside the vehicle can’t be used because they are too big to use in the space provided. Who comes up with this stuff?
Never, ever, try to change a flat on a road.
I've seen enough episodes of Cops to know you can go pretty far on a flat tire.
The Shop
More of a marketing decision "want" that engineering had work with/around.
