Stuck, a cry for help...

I can tell ya exactamundo how to get that lug nut off.

First, cuss. If you can't cuss worth a damn, get help.

Then find yerself a drill, and some little bits. Then drill a series of holes around the perimeter of the nut.

Sooner or later, if ya make enough holes, ya can just tap a screwdriver in there and break the nut apart piece by piece. Viola.

Or ya can drill the stud out from inside the nut. That takes more drill bits. Studs are tough.

Ask me how I know these things. Go ahead, aks me.

Had to do this very thing to GrandCherokeeOne, because Wal-Mart put the lugs on with Paul Bunyan's personal impact wrench.

We've went through this twice. Broke a four way lug wrench.

So...

I got this used set of wheels and tires.

Name: oldtires.JPG
Views: 522

They got 85% treadlife left on 'em. I'm asking $100,000. Interested?

Some info:

They're off a Bugatti Veyron.

They're made specifically for the Veyron, to handle it's top speed.

At top speed, the tires are good for 15 minutes.

Bug charges $150,000 for replacement wheels/tires.

They recommend replacing the tires every 2,500 miles.

The wheels only need to be replaced every other tire change.

Great, now gas is cheaper I could take a trip to CA and only have to replace the tires twice and wheels once before I get home.

But the trip would only take 20 minutes.

And $60 million to maintain.

Back then they had been surpassed by newer models and available cheap, now there is less than 62 left of all the years they were built.

The Ferrari Enzo ($670,000, new) has non-power, roll-up windows, and no provision for a radio.

$670,000.

Just 36 250 GTOs were manufactured between 1962 and 1964.

Not picking nits, just happen to be reading about them a few minutes ago.

But then again, 36 is less than 62.

Wiki

Quote:

Ferrari eluded FIA regulations by numbering its chassis out of sequence, using jumps between each to suggest cars that did not exist.[20] When FIA inspectors appeared to confirm that 100 examples had been built, Enzo Ferrari shuffled the same cars between different locations, thus giving the impression that the full complement of 100 cars was present.[21]

I have no idea, the closest I come to Ferraris was going to the mailbox one morning and taking out the latest Car & Driver magazine with the new Ferrari California on the cover. While I'm standing there looking at it two brand new California's rumbled by and stopped at the stop sign by my driveway.

About 2 or so miles from me is where they are unloaded off the enclosed transporters, prepared for delivery, then driven to the dealer.
