Flat Tires Stink

One of the tires on our car has had a slow air leak for a few weeks. We have filled it with air as needed and even tried to "fix it" with a can of Fix a Flat. Shaun had off of work today because of President's Day and decided that he'd take the car to the auto repair to be fixed as everything was open in Germany today. When went to take the car this morning the tire was flat! After some fiddling with the car jack he noticed that the jack was actually slipping out from under the car. At this point he called ADAC (equivalent of AAA in the US). After a short wait they arrived (in the "yellow angel" car they sent) and helped to put the spare tire on the car. While Shaun was waiting he called to tell me he had never actually left the parking spot and that he was waiting for ADAC to arrive. Morgan and I felt pretty bad for him because it was snowing pretty. So we walked to the bakery and picked up a double espresso and a croissant for Dad. He was happy to see us!! Isn't that our luck? The day we decide we're going to take care of a problem that has been plaguing us for weeks the tire actually goes flat! Shaun then took the car to the auto repair shop and was able to get the tire replaced...but it was a long day
