Decades ago, my friend's grandfather was hit and killed while attempting to change a flat tire in the safety lane on the freeway. I taught my kids to never stop on the shoulder of a busy highway if the car can still roll under power. In the case of a flat. You can always buy a new wheel. So, move to the outer shoulder and roll slowly to the next exit and access the situation in a parking lot or driveway. Your life is irreplaceable.

I had friends who had Chiselers' with that motor; the thing would always turn over, start & run but the rest of the vehicle would completely fall apart long before that engine died.
