I actually had an Oldsmobile attempt to drive over my RX7 one time. I was in my car. She made it over my front tire.

I've gotten asked this TONS of times: "Are you gonna throw a spare on the top too??"
--Sorry but I'm not a fan of the spare on the top. Kinda stupid. JMO.

As opposed to the idiots that ride around with no spare....
Where should we put it then???
U can fit a 33+ in the stock spare location?
Bet you would look stupid trying.
Or better yet, you could look like a total jerk and put that big terd on the rear tire swing and never see out your back window again??
Also, what if we have chops?
Lol
I fail to see any of your logic in that statement
Even if it is an opinion
(calling something "stupid" just because, is, well, STUPID)

To some degree the swing out is fine
But I have a chop with a jeep tailgate and I'm not makin it ugly with a spare
Too much time welding all of it to cover it up
So I hop up on my tailgate in to the bed then onto the roof
Thro that bad boy to the ground and then hop down and do work
I'm also 5'9" and 140lbs soaking wet
Agile as a spider monkey and twice as nice
Lolol
Anywho

Me: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAH ;D
