That or a large dog using the wheels as a toilet (I am allowed to say
toilet?), a friend of ours had the wheels of her Hyundai rusted on so
tight I had to take the wheel off with the hub and then use my medium
hammer and a big punch to persuade it to come apart.

Maybe too, we mercedes owners are a little more fussy with maintance and

to loosen lugs and drive back
