Nothing against Jake here but The stuff that is 'verboten by the US legal system and 'no longer done' because 'Our Insurance won't allow it'..Most of it really makes me laugh when I hear people 'Parrot' what some beaurocrats and lobbiest and special interest lawmakers have decided is good to "save us". Totally "Overkill". and CYA..(Cover Your own A**) It's so American to tell us stuff like.."Hey, it's unsafe to fix a nail hole in a tire, so we're gonna "save you" by passing a law against it" and yet allow, for instance, a drug company to sell some new drug without testing until thousands die and they "take it off the market" Yeah, someone sometime may have had a second flat after plugging a hole in a tire...but Jeeze! If you are careful and want to "take responsibility for yourself" and plug a hole in your tire, I'd bet your chances of being 'unsafe' are about like getting hit on the head by a falling satellite... Don Hanson From: Jake de Villiers <crescentbeachguitar@GMAIL.COM> Since its no longer legal for tire stores to plug tires, I doubt its too smart to do your own that way except in extreme emergencies.
