Default How far can you drive your car with all the lug nuts removed?

This is a real challenge. Remove all the lug nuts from all the tires on
your car. Get in the car, and drive. How far can you drive without
having a wheel fall off? This takes real skill, and separates the boys
from the men.

Try it, and post your distance on this newsgroup. The person driving
the furthest before a wheel falls off is the winner of the *BEST DRIVER
AWARD*. "Watch your speedometer for the distance".

* DO NOT do this in traffic. Do it on a private road or a little used
back road, when there is no traffic. Be sure to have your lug nuts in
the car, along with a jack, and a lug wrench. Sooner or later at least
one wheel will fall off, and you'll have to raise the car and put the
wheel back on, with the lug nuts.


Someone here was driving after having tires put on at national tire and
battery. Going over a bridge wheel spun off damaging fender. Had to get
toad.
