I think your name "Overdose" says it all... What are you on today??? LOL, JK, could have been worse, as it is only will cost about $250 to fix, new tire, ABS sensor. FYI, AAA is about $50 a year for the RV plus package and you get 4 tow's up to 100 miles and other perks......

Chalk it up to a learning experience, be glad nothing fell on you, and sign up with AAA or someplace that offers roadside assistance. I have it through my AT&T cell phone package, also thru the dealer where I bought the car.

We've all done things we wish we hadn't - I've got a big dent right now in my front end cuz I took my foot off the brake and didn't realize the car would roll forward into a depression (it was in Reverse). Now I know how heavy our Montes are and will be more careful in the future. That was a $350.00 lesson.

I knew all that Lou, but reviewed it anyways, as I have found myself under them without stand even though I have a heavy duty set in my garage.

Glad nobody got hurt when the jack gave out. I'd look into getting a floor jack. The portable ones on wheels. More secure, and allows you to move the car without driving on the rotor.

Or maybe fab up a mini creeper type thing strong enough to put under one wheel.
