I took my jack out right after I got my Mini.

I used it once and it didn't work very well either.

I've had my new Mini for all of 3.5 days when I got a flat tire while driving some co-workers to a lunch spot. I'm SO glad I have run-flat tires. Could go to lunch, drive back to work, drive to the gym and then home, and then to the dealership the next morning (today) without having to stop and replace the tire. I also ended up getting the tire and wheel warranty. So, after paying $260 to get the run flat tire replaced, I'm already recovered half the cost of the 5-year warranty. And given my city driving, I've got a 99% chance that I'll have another flat tire or two within 5 years.
