    Gues he missed the Myth Busters episode that showed that shooting at a lock doesn't work either.... I think if he'd watch that episode he'd of known it wouldn't work on a lug nut.....:rofl2:

    Here in the land of the coalcracker, we'd tape a quarter stick to the lugnut, grab a Genny, light the fuse and run like hell.

    Problem solved.

    That's what happens when you don't ask for help.

    Heard about that on Bob an Tom show this morning! I thought (without watching) he should have laid on trunk or hood, carefully bend shotgun around an shoot!

    Actually, to save a lot of grief an such,,,,just walk out in the woods an shoot the real problem! Hate to waste a good wheel!

    thats pretty funny reminds me of and email my buddy from back home sent me. it was this kid on a audi forum he figured it would be a good idea to port out his intake, heads, and exhaust buy pouring a 25 lbs pack of sand down the intake while the engine was running. some people in this world.

    i cant say anything... i got pissed at a hubcap on my '73 and took a 12 gauge to it :rolleyes:

    the outcome: i was less one hubcap (which i had extras), it really didnt solve anything...... but it felt so damn good :D
