So, Don't buy a VW
 

this is hilarious

:lol:

haha, idiots are not isolated to any one car marque, they span the globe!

Wow that is so full of fail... struggling to comprehend!

Funny. I snapped the nut off a lug, along with the remainder of the lug, on my rear right wheel just last Friday. The shop couldn't figure out what to do. So now I only have two winter tires on my car (on the front at least) and the right rear only has three lug nuts on.

Not sure what to do next.

It's a VW jetta, and the nut that snapped was a special locking nut.

All you need is a bolt extractor and some lubricant. A 30 second Google search found this, which is Mastercraft and, as far as I know, should come with one of those nifty lifetime warranties.

Spray some lubricant around the outside of the bolt, let it sit for a bit, then go to work with the bolt extractor. You ought to be able to pop it right out. Do make sure you have a replacement on hand and do get to this sooner rather than later -- driving around with only three lug bolts is not recommended, to say the least.

Cutting your rim apart is also not recommended.

If you haven't already done this, one thing that I also recommend for Canadian drivers is to get your winter tires mounted on an extra set of cheap steel rims. This allows you to keep your nicer rims (whether OEM or aftermarket) out of the slush and salt and other crap on Canadian roads in the winter, and also allows you to change your tires at home. With a bit of practice, you ought to be able to do the whole set in 15 minutes or so.

Just remember to take them in to get balanced periodically, and you're good.

This guy is a friggin genius. He thinks taps are titanium and easy-outs are brass. A fool and his wheel are soon parted...

Wow! Just fucking WOW!

I may not sleep tonight due to laughter.

Just when you think you've seen all the stupid the world has to offer....
