you guys really are nerds
as for the "situation", I really believe I would have called for a wrecker immediately and not have attempted a repair on the side of a potentially accident prone highway. The fact that the "crazies" showed up more than once is a tough one to deal with, particularly for individuals that are unarmed. I really don't think I have ever been "unarmed" on the side of the highway. I don't know karate, judo or jujitso, but I did know "tire tool".
