    Yes, in a carrier under the rear. (Much like a pickup truck)
    Mine is empty, the spare is sitting in the driveway at home where it will serve no use when I get a flate.

    Corvette:
    Brake light perminently on.
    Horn doesn't work.
    All available space packed with fluid containers and tools.
    Turn up the radio to drown out the sound of the empty tire carrier rattling on all but perfectly flat roads.
    If parked for only a short period, valve seal allows just enough oil to leak into cylinder to produce a pretty white cloud when starting which scares people.
    On warm days the selenoid on the started overheats and has to be hit with a hammer to function.

    Favorite point of a beater:
    "If there’s one aspect of a clapped-out car that embodies the term “beater” more than anything else, it would have to be the notion that only you can operate the thing without dying."

    Valet attendants pay me to park my own car!

    Number 6 is awesome. In my car (95 Civic) every time I turn right, the gauge goes down a quarter of a tank.

    I once had a Bug that hated female drivers, seriously! I got from a friend who had gotten it for his niece. She wouldn't drive it because it kept "breaking down". He would go get it each time and it would start right up . Then I got it, drove it back and forth all over the place had my ex (when we were married) drive it one night and it died, she calls me at work, I had my brother-in-law go get her, she tries the car with him standing there and it starts right up! She wouldn't drive it after that.
    Then I sold it back to the guy I got it from and his wife ended up driving down to CDR (Mead race track) and the fan belt broke, she kept driving and fried the poor lil' Bugs engine
    No wonder that car didn't like girls.
