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

I drove 352 miles without the lug nuts on my wheels. How much did I win?


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


So did I. But then I found 4 Karmann Ghia over time on the road. I put one
on each wheel. That was when I was in my 20's in CT. Hey...wait a
minute...you're in CT Ed. Hmmmm...

My dad lost the right rear wheel on his Model A ford when he was a
young guy. Took one lugnut off each remaining wheel and put the wheel
back on. Then, just for kicks, he walked half a mile back the road and
picked up 4 of the 5 lost nuts.
