At one time you had to carry many tires and tyre levers.
I expect these people thought the end of the world was nigh when spare
wheels were invented.

If you're going to try to make a point, at least make sure the point
actually exists.

In days of yore, tyres were so poor that most cars carried several
spare tyres plus of course a chauffeur to change them.

The chauffeur's job was to heat the engine before the owner wanted to use
to ensure it started. It's a French word, btw.
