wait...

hold on...

1. did they have a flat bed?

2. why would an exhaust matter?

3. why would an FMIC matter?

4. did you have or not have a Flat TIRE??????

Yeah, what he said.

I have to do this with my RS. If the flat is in the front, I have to remove the rear wheel and put it on the front, and you put you spare on your rear wheel since the rotors in the back are much smaller.

Did you try this?

I didn't get his name, I was nice to the guy.
Thanked him for coming out and joked that I was glad he didn't get lost because AAA couldn't find my location so they used google maps and put it in the notes.
