I have a bunch of cars, and I'm pissed that most do not come with a spare. I've had my share of tire issues and in each case it was a non-repairable location(side wall) or not the tire but the wheel developed a hairline crack. I carry either a Harbor Freight lightweight aluminum floor jack or a compact low profile scissors jack in all my cars. Additionally, I've had 1/2 drive sockets welded to the end of the scissors jacks so I use my breaker bar or impact wrench to raise and lower those. I also carry plug kits, cans of fix a flat and small compressors in all my cars. I have 2 Vette's a street and a track Z06. The donut spare from my Caddy CTS fits the Vette's although I need 2 5/32" spacers for the spare to clear the front brake calipers. I have a Boxster and a Cayman S. The Boxster donut fits perfectly on front/rear of the Cayman. I found a new Boxster donut for $80 at a junkyard near me. That spare is secured by ratchet tie down straps in the rear of the Cayman-I was unable to figure out how to securely store the donut in the frunk. The scissors jack is wrapped in towels and stuffed with the breaker bar into that small compartment in the frunk below the battery. It seems secure in there and the towel keeps it from moving around. I don't think there's anything in there I can screw up-at least I hope there's nothing in there I can screw up-does anyone know if there is something in there I can screw up?
