Yeah, but that's going away. We just bought a Honda CR-Z. At the
dealership, I was going through the features, opening things up so I knew
where everything was before I drove off the lot. I tried to lift the rear
deck to find the spare (where it lives in our Insight) and couldn't find
any. The salesman asked what I was looking for, I said the spare, and he
said there isn't one. I said, "Huh?" He explained that the manufacturers
are moving away from a physical spare and replacing it with the "pump and
goo" solution.
