So there I was, trying to figure out what the hell I was gonna do. An older fellow, a real Southern gentleman type must have seen the tire and pulled up to see if I needed help. He drove back to his house, picked up a jack, and helped me put the spare on. Then he gave me very careful directions to the 24-hr Wal Mart with auto service, and even offered to lead me there. Also, the Wal Mart staff was very helpful and entirely White - something I've never seen at any other Wal Mart.

Why didn't he just use the jack in your car, or better yet why didn't you just use the jack in your car?
