Howdy
Just looked for my tire jack to raise my car.
Looked in back under carpet.
No jack.
Checked manual.
You have to purchase on since they don't come with the car.
Glad I was in my shop instead of on the side of the road with a flat.
What's next...no steering wheel..got to pay extra for that also?
Weird times.

Def weird. This is the first car I've owned that didn't have a spare (and a jack). Freaks me out a bit, but I'm adapting.

I thought about getting a jack and a spare (from the 370Z, which is said to fit), but then I realized if I get a flat, placing these wide tires in the hatch just doesn't work (especially if on a road trip with luggage). So I decided to rely on the TPMS (I check every drive) and proximity to tire repair.

I had a fool in front of me on the way home doing 50 in a 65 with a donut on the front left wheel.
Apparently they DID read the side of the weenie to stay at 50 or less, but not smart enough to use the access road at 35-40 mph.
I don't mind not having a spare, as long as the inflator/tire repair kit works. Otherwise, it is a flatbed trailer tow to the nearest shop, which doesn't bother me either ... auto insurance or any credit card will cover without charging ... within a certain range.
