just got a flat tire

the fuking jack and fix-a-flat don't work...

the jack is twisted before i even use it when I try to jack it up it's slanted to the right and when finally the tire's off the ground the jack's too slanted to stay up and then car came down...




now...anyone know if the spare from W208 will work on my car?
