i was thinking about taking mine out to make room for some amplifiers and radio equipment... but getting stuck somewhere without a spare makes me nervous... have you taken yours out?

My spare tire is currently flat, rendering it useless, so for now it's out. I'm still deciding if I want it permanently out or not, because if I ever do get a flat, I can just call AAA for help.

Its out since the car is low with 18s, the 16inch donut wont do anything except fruck up aero parts. I did get a flat one time lately too, and I drove it on the flat, the bead held the whole way about 2-3 miles and not a scratch on the rim. Granted I got my tires stretched

... Mine is out due to the fact that i own a Wrecker Service and a Body Shop..... But i guess it is not a good idea but if you do keep some fix-a-flat stuff etc... in your glovebox...

I'm very leary about removing it as I've used it in the past. While you can always call a tow service, it sucks to be waiting for hours (if it takes them a while to get to you). You could always carry something like this:

The BMW M3 has a "Mobility Kit" like it which is stock.
