unfortunate incidents-sparks and idea!

I decided to take a day off from work and work on my truck. My wife gives me an option, go thift store shopping and the Halloween store for our boy.
Great, mother in law and us just into her Kia Sorrente and drive off.
As we start pulling into the parking lot we hear thump thump noises. We discover a flat, and the BAD GUY is a side cutter. I could not believe! The head of a side cutter, wire cutter or what ever you want to call them!
So, here I am day off and having to change a flat tire. I remove the tools from tray, hook up the jack, and go looking for the spare. I find it tucked under the rear, but could not release the tire. At this point I go for the owner's manual and find the info. The application calls for using the lug wrench and turning a big nut ( same size as lugs) to lower the tire. Wow! I think this set up would be COOL in my 64.
I take the system operates via pully's, turn the nut one way to lower and the other way to raise the wheel,lowering and raising a cable.
What do you think?
