Well, roommate hit a pothole during his job, and one of the lights fell out, so he had to call roadside assistance again. Insurance only gives 3 tows for free in a year. He did have a spare, but the light needs repaired. Great. I get to pick him up at work tonight.
Well, roadside assistance helped put on the spare donut so he drove the car home and I came home. He contacted a tire shop to change the tire the next day.
Found out that Roommate did try to change the tire last night so he could drive home, but he was on a hill, and the car rocked back to collapse on the jack. It almost fell on his hand, he said. With the fall, the bumper below the light came off near the tire. So he was nervous about changing the new tire and had the roadside guy help him get the spare tire on and removed the tiny jack provided under the car. So he paid a nearby tire shop to replace his damaged tire and wheel. He has duct tape holding the bumper in place. Then he got upset that they used a drill to get the nuts on, so they will be harder to remove the old-fashioned way if he needs to change it again.
