I was swapping my tires tonight, and my lug key broke. I had been putting most of my significant weight into it when it quite suddenly snapped and sent me directly into the garage floor. Ouch.
Anyway, without the key I cannot tightern or loosen my autocross lugs. I decided to use my OEM lugs, then remembered why I don't do that. They are too big to fit inside the lug "well" while leaving room for the wrench.
Here I sit with 2 regular wheels and 2 autocross wheels - only one of which is fully tightened. My car is fully immobilized until I can get a new "Key" overnighted - which probbaly means Monday. I won't be at the event tomorrow.
Nuts.
Oh well. In the scheme of things this is only a small problem. See you at the next one.
Eric, Matt, Loren, and Chung, I'm hoping to see some good tight competition in the results tomorrow!
