If these lug nuts were my nuts, I'm starting to think the pain would be the same

O.E.M. Key lug nuts. I can't say I'm impressed. I can't say I will ever trust them ever again. If you got these on the ride you bought, I'd almost dare to recommend getting them off and replacing them with normal lug nuts. I dunno if the last people to work on my Jeep tightened the lug nuts with an impact wrench instead of a torque wrench, but it does seem funny to me that this all decided to happen now.

It all started because I figured I could make it to town to fluff up my one tire that I figured was a bit low, turns out it was flat. If you drive on a flat tire, you're going to have a bad time, if you have lock style cheap lug nuts on those tires, you're going to have a really bad time. I just wanted to replace the one tire instead of all four, because I'm such a tight wade I'd rather see more money make it to investments, like Hive or BTC. I did find the exact tire I needed, but, it was in the United States some place that doesn't ship outside the US main land. This one perfect tire, exact size, exact amount of tread left on it, exact make and model, and such a cheap solution.

You see, Jeeps have pretty intense drive train system on them, All Wheel Drive or " Four wheel drive all the time" deal on them. So if you kill one tire, you may as well have killed all four of them.

Found a decent set of replacement tires along with aftermarket rims on Kijiji, I figured I had the problem by the balls now, just get the replacement, slap them on, sell off all all the surplus wheels and tires. And then, this shit happened. I went to grip the problem by the balls, but it grabbed my balls first.

If I'm taking a piss, and I start reflecting on this little situation, it will actually start steaming up and boiling.

Maybe I did it wrong, maybe I should have been more gradual and ginger with these key nuts, I just never thought the removal of a lug nut could turn into a science project.

If getting a vehicle on the road was the same as sex, this is about what my balls would look like right now.

Or just try imagining a pair of blue coffee cans side by side. Yeah.

Upvote and or comment if you wanna see me drill the wheel stud into fucking oblivion. Or if you have other ideas that be pretty sweet too. Thanks.
