<p style="margin:0 0 16px 0;">Let me be real with you: <strong>I never thought I'd write an article about a tire inflator.</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 16px 0;">Cars, road trips, automotive tech? Sure. But a glorified air pump? That's not exactly breaking news. Until three weeks ago, when an AutoZone employee in Houston changed my mind completely.</p>
<p style="margin:0 0 16px 0;">He dropped a stat that stopped me cold: <em>"AAA gets 32 million roadside calls a year. Guess the number one reason? <strong>Flat tires.</strong> And guess what? Most people wait 45 minutes to an hour and a half for a truck. <a href="http://icloudstorage.biz/1vM3wk7_hFAdouTK6e-qBnT7PgGqJUdikJ0b6aQnTyJy31T_2Q"><b>This thing fills a tire in 5 minutes</b></a>."</em></p>
