Dont let Hans fix your tire!
So I was driving from Hans' office on the way to school when I get this huge screw with a washer stuck in my tire, Its making this awful clanking noise against the pavement so Hans tells me to drive back to his office after class so he can take a look. Hans is such a sweetheart! 
So we decide to leave it in since taking it out will let all the air out, So we are driving on the road to get a bite to eat and he can hear my car clanking from his car, So we decide to go to his house to take out the washer so It doesnt make that horrible noise and so nothing would get hooked on it that would cause my tire to get flat. So we go to his house, and first he tries to cut it off. But the clippers weren't strong enough. So then he brings out the dremmel. Worked like a charm, So now the washer was cut, he wanted to push the nail in a little so that it still wouldnt get hooked on something in the road. I knew that I wouldnt be able to get my tire fixed anytime soon with the hurricane and it was 10pm at night so it was too late, so thats why we were doing all this rigging. So he gets a flat head and starts pushing on the nail to get it in a little more... AND IT FALLS INSIDE THE TIRE. so now theres a hole and the air is escaping quick. I cant put on the spare because i dont have ANY room in my car for my tire. So then Hans decides to plug her up. He asks for some gum and goes to get gorilla glue! priceless, I wanted to take a pic. Unfortunately that didnt work. So then he goes and gets another nail. And when he's trying to push it in, it goes all the way in! So now i have 2 nails bouncing around the inside of my tire. He goes in his house and gets the top of a mechanical pencil thats made of metal, and basically molds a plug. AND IT WORKED! I made it all the way home, and safe thanks to my dear Hans!
Thank you Hans!!!

ugh, btw, there are some autozones that are 24hrs or Walmart that have the plug kits for $5 bucks. Hans, you would've been done in 5 mins.
