OK,

I'll cut you some slack. I don't know what you're missing. I don't like your sig, but what the hell. I don't like lots of others, either.

My problem is probably that I am getting older every day.

Tell you the truth, I don't even know if I have caps on my bolts. One thing I think you ARE missing is a 4 foot pipe to put on that lug wrench. I had one Audi that I stood on a pipe on a 1/2 inch drive ratchet and snapped 4 USA made sockets, down to the last tool I had, Japanese 3/8 drive KMart, stood on the pipe and got them loose.

Steel bolts and aluminum wheels can get awful tight, and if you have tires put on your car, I can all but guarantee you the idjits in the tire shop do not torque to spec. They rack them up tight as hell, and if you get a flat, you are in for a world of hurtin' getting them loose.

My grandson called me the other day because he had a flat on a US car, broke his lug wrench trying to get them loose. I took him a 4-way out of the garage, had to stand on one arm to break them free.

I buy all of my cars for cash. Older than yours. Pay less. But I am probably 30 to 40 years older than you.

Are you doing as well in the current economic climate as you were when you first posted your sig?

Cheers,

George
