bring 2x4's in your car and just put one or 2 in front of the rear tire and hopefully it will raise it enough to get a jack up under it...they dont have to be very big they could fit under your front seat =)...atleast thats how i did it

I usually just carry a few pieces of wood in the trunk where the spare goes, just enough to get the car up a few inches. Just push the wheels onto it and bingo you're in business. What i found at the junkyard was that old hondas have good collapsible scissor jacks, that are maybe 4-5 inches tall, that slide right under the frame.

Edit: Damn ninja quick!

Hahaha, that's hilarious ~ might work too!

If the wheel's in the back, I just jack it up from the diff - if I can get a jack under my diff, you can get one under yours.

Oh, and the handle comes up in the rear bumper's muffler hole, that's how I get it up in less than a million pumps lol.

If the wheel's in the back, I usually just cut the 4 zip ties holding the front bumper on and jack it up from a tow hook - it's just easier/faster than carrying wood blocks. Plus I hate that shit bouncing around in the back.

ive never gotten a flat while driving, hope i never do, i cant fit a jack under my car anywhere, even with inflated tires, nor do i carry any kind of wood or a spare tire with me.

I don't carry a spare tire, so AAA is my friend.
Flatbed please.
They usually carry 2x4's too.
