True. I do end up patching all my plugs, but when I gotta go, I gotta go, and keep plugs in the trunk. I hate it more when the glue in the trunk dries up, always when you need it.
I actually once put 3 plugs into my sidewall to get off a bridge before the cops and tow-truck showed up. It even held air for 30 min. Made it home.
