Default has anybody had to use the crappy jack that comes with the spare tire?

my tire exploded on the freeway last night and i had the worst experience with a jack that you could ever imagine. i had to lift the car 5 times till the car stood straight up and didnt fall forward. to lift the car you have to remove a plastic cover next to the bad tire and plug in the jack there, so then the jack is at a weird angle with the ground and can barely stay up without tilting.

just wanted to vent about this experience, i missed class because of it. had i had just the regular under the car jack i wouldve been done in 5 minutes.
