What's the pressure in your spare?

So I'm airing up my tires after a wash and cleaning out my trunk when for some reason I think about the spare. I pull it out and check the pressure - 14 psi! When it's supposed to be 60! I doubt it's been touched since it was put in the car six years ago. Glad I didn't find this out on the side of the road.

No spare here. Subwoofer in its place.

Must be nice not to get a flat for at least 6 years

I seem to get flats every 3 months at least.

Fortunately I was at a mall with a gas station. Spare didn't register pressure.

Well, I bought this one two years ago, haven't had a flat yet. I guess I'm just lucky, or more careful. Probably just lucky.

Before that though, on my old car (good ol' Cutlass Ciera), I'd get slow leaks nearly every month it seemed. Always a screw or some bizarre thing.
