Anyone ever use Fix-a-Flat?

1. No spare in a 997 C2S.

3. Tried a compressor. Broke the stem valve.

This car is my daily driver and now stranded in a public parking lot near my
work. Leaving it on a jack is not an option.

Bought new wheels with tires, will swap the one myself and drive the car to a
tire place to swap the other 3. Then sell the old rims. Should be done in 2
days. This is the quickest way to get a new wheel and tire on my car that I can think of.
why couldnt you just leave the car on a jack stand and take the wheel to be fixed, buying a whole new set of rims seems like a strange way to solve the problem of one puncture, problem would be solved in 2 hours not 2 days

pvanosta is just really nicepvanosta is just really nicepvanosta is just really nicepvanosta is just really nicepvanosta is just really nice
I thought about that but decided against it
Because
1. my 997 is my daily driver and only car and my wife works in a totally different location / direction from my office
2. It was parked in a public parking structure 22 miles from my home and leaving the car up on a jack for a day or more, unattended, is inviting an accident that could be far more costly and lengthy to repair
