I can see it all now... it would be like one of those cartoons, where you see the balloon "flying" across the air !!

Seen those before, our local fire dept's have them for car crashes and things like tree's falling and pinning someone underneath.
Could be a life saver
Of course you would not want to suck the air out like ya would with a helium balloon.
eboMy concern is while holding the tube near the exhust would you breathe in the fumes and even when done rolling up the balloon your brathing in the fumes too... 
How about when done and in the bag. Does the fumes go into the car while you are driving? 
And would you want your vehicle to stay running while doing the tyre change?

I like the idea...........to keep the frame from getting marred, but I think that around the house to use compressed air, that would be the way to go.

I think out in the open air you would have no concern about intake of fumes, since its a gas type fume it should all leave the balloon once deflated. Looks like you lock the tube with a valve so you could shut the car off.
Would come in handy at my house when the mother in law comes over and sits in my lazy boy recliner......
