He brought the truck up from the rear and my car is so low you can't even get a jack under it to begin with to change a tire. As I said it was slow going but the wood, 4" thick with an angle cut into it made the difference. As I said he had to alternate side to side. I sat in the drivers seat as the car was being brought up to keep the wheel straight so it wouldn't slide off the plank. Getting it down was tricky to, finding the rght grade on the lot made the difference. My husband brought up a good point about doing this to a car. What if I was stuck on the expressway, no spare in the trunk and no way to get the car safely on a flatbed. I was lucky this time with the right guy falling for a girl in distress. I plan on keeping that wood in the trunk, as far as a spare only for a long trip I guess. I'm not sure what to do.
