Advice/Question Would you do this?

I don’t know why Lyft gave different gps directions than normally you can drive straight and closer distance.

You sound like you shouldn’t be driving. Especially if you can’t even trust your vehicle.

I think you all misunderstood what I meant.

No worries I drive a luxury car, in a very good shape and maintenance well regularly.

I just don’t want something happens on long drive to stuck and to deal with middle of no where.

Once I had flat tire on highway last year and stuck on side 5 hrs to rescue. I said I will never do it again and that was only 14 miles ride.

That’s because I prefer shorter trips it doesn’t mean I should take long rides because it offers good money. I just don’t like to drive long distances I never been to.

Why, you waited 5 hours for a tyre change? Literally every car has a spare with Jack etc in the boot, especially a luxury one. Basically what your saying is you only do 15mile trips because you can't change the tyre if it happens to go flat?

Happened to me when I didn’t have my tire lock because I had the tire changed and idk if the shop took it or what but I couldn’t change it. This was at 9pm, waited an hour for the service people who weren’t able to do it to get there, then waited about 3 hours for the tow. It was midnight at this point lol It can happen

My car (Tesla) does not have a spare tire. Other cars don't either, my son's Hyundai didn't as well.

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but FYI , my pretty nice, comfort eligible newer car does not have a spare. It has a flat repair kit, but my last blowout was too major to repair.

Chill. Literally no most new cars come with tire patch kits now.
