On a lighter note, I was cleaning up my tool box and found the registration card for my McGard wheel locks! This means that I can send in for my replacement key that I lost and FINALLY fix my squealing brakes!

I thought I was going to have to go through all kinds of hell to get those things off. I'm glad I cleaned up when I did!

glad to hear you can get a replacement key, but if you ever find yourself in that situation again tap a socket over the locking lug nut with a hammer and it should come right off. I called discount tire because my locking lug nuts were stripped where the key went in and they wanted $25 each to remove them, they told me this was how they did it so I got off the phone and did it myself in about five minutes. I quit using them on my car when I found out how easy it was to get them off.

Yeah, I know. I'm worried that I'll scrape the inside of the R's. If it's going to take them more than a week to get me my replacement, I'll try that out. I should at least start carrying something with me in case I have a flat!
