Have we reached a point where the average driver is totally incapable of changing a tire, because they can't be bothered to read the manual.

here is another question - is there any kind of torque wrench setting for the bolts?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Alright... so i took my car to one of these supposed "touchless" car washes and it turns out the little rolling mechanism touches you rim quite a bit. Now I have bad curb rash all around my left rear rim. I have a place that will repair the rim for me, but I have to take it to them. So my questions are:
1. can i just use a regular car jack to jack up the car? or is there some special $5000 porsche jack that i have to use?
2. assuming its a regular jack, where do i place it to jack up the car so i can remove left rear rim?
3. can a tire be remounted after the rim has been fixed? its a new tire (less than 300km on it)...
Any advice would be appreciated guys!
Use a reg jack..but make sure you use jackstands or put on the spare tire if you are going to leave it on the jack for more than a few minutes.
Ther are 4 jack points.. 2 on each side of the car. 1 behind each front wheel and 1 in front each rear wheel. refer to your manual if your not sure where they are.
Yeah, you can remount the old tire.
1. regular is fine
2. can place the factory jack in the jack tabs in front of the rear tire or a regular jack under the crossmember between the eng/trans. Make sure to use the rubber pad so it doesnt scrape the aluminum.
3. Yes, you can remount
Thanks for the answers guys. here is another question - is there any kind of torque wrench setting for the bolts? Or do I just make sure that they have a good tight fit?
And I thought this was going to be a map Question and what countries could benefit the U.S. schools that are located in South Africa, IraQ and the Asian countries???? LOL.
Sorry, but you don't win the prize. This is not the dumbest question of all time. That award goes to Phil G. for asking "

Sorry, Phil, I'm feeling really evil tonight!
I use a hand car wash....16 bucks. They take almost a 1/2 hour.....really meticulous, dry with micro fibre towels too. Best car was I know. I do it most of the time myself, but then winter rolls around....I know where to go.

It is true. If you read the manual, then.... (well, you get the picture).
I think you need to turn in your "Porsche Man-Card" now...
As one of my old college friends used to say, "Before you do anything stupid again, freakin' call me!" That's what Rennlist is for!

I almost have to believe the original post is a joke. How can anyone dirve a Porsche and not know the basics? Have we reached a point where the average driver is totally incapable of changing a tire, because they can't be bothered to read the manual. The last time I looked, the average Porsche came equiped with a tool kit with a jack and very detailed instructions in the manual on how it all gets used.
