From the time I was 13 (about 1962), I had a '49 Chev that I drove 3 miles to my farm job after school and on weekends. Dad and I had a deal- I always had a spare tire, and when I had a blowout, I put on the spare and drove home, very slowly and carefully. I was deadlined until I got a new spare. Put the blowout and rim in Dad's rig, he'd stop by Capitol Auto Wreckers in Olympia, WA on his way back from work, and trade it in on another bald but air-holding tire and rim, for 2 bucks. That becomes my spare, and I'm back on the road. Tires were always bald, but I'd usually get several weeks out of them. Sometimes not, but hey, 2 bucks is not gonna kill ya, especially if Dad is paying it, and it worked for me.
Did I mention that I had a tab at the local gas station, and Dad would pay it at the end of the month? He always did what he could to keep me working, and I learned that good things happen as long as you bust your butt. It went unsaid that if I quit my job, the gravy train would derail, but quitting never occurred to me. I wish kids these days had similar opportunities.
