[DeTomaso] A machine screw as a tire plug

[Garth Rodericks]

A machine screw is NOT a tire plug. Get one of these kits from your local Auto Parts store and fix your tire. It'll take you less than 10 minutes. 

Then, carry one of these kits in each of your cars ALL the time.  Being able to plug my own tire on the side of the road has saved me from tremendous inconvenience.
