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

You did not win. I drove my Karmann Ghia thousands of miles with no
lug nuts.

49 VW, 53 Dodge, and 57 Fargo - over 200,000 miles, 130,000 miles and
260,000 miles with no lug nuts. And then there was the '38 Terrible
Pain (Terraplane) - also no lug nuts. I didn't put many miles on it
and have no idea how many miles were on it when I got it.

I've also lost a wheel due to an AXLE nut coming off the rear of an
MGB when my apprentice failed to re-install the cotter pin- - -It
took about 3 weeks and over 750 miles.
