On new cars one that recently got me is this: they don't even have spare tires anymore.

I blew a tire on my car and due to its unconventional size and delays I had to wait 3 weeks for new tires to arrive.

Then, during those three weeks, wife's car blew a tire too. Gigantic hole in the side of the tire: probably a defect back from when we bought the car that eventually made the tire blow (I kinda noticed it when we bought the car but the official dealership told me the car had been inspected and the tires were fine).

Thankfully it's a BMW with "run flat" tires: even if you blow a tire you can still drive up to 50 mph for up to 80 miles (officially, you can always try your luck too) on that blow / totally deflated tire.

But yup, even something which was as normal as having a spare tire in your car and being able to swap it yourself (something I've done several times in my life: for me and to help others) is a long gone skill.
