wheels are off

[Tony Hoffman]

Huw,

They are about $18 at autozone. I've never broken one yet. Certainly
more than enough for wheels, and my (wife/sister/mom/whoever else is
driving the car) can't ever call me and say, "I can't get the lug nuts
off".

I have two of those plastic wheel line up tools. The first time I ever
tried to use it, it crossthreaded. Some real piece of engineering
there. Not that one is necessary at all, but it is nice to have.

Tony
