I could have thought of a dozen other things to try, but never would have even considered the sawzall.

I wonder if this goes along with this generations kids needing to see instant results. Impatient little buggers.

gosh darn... that guy is an idiot... i mean ive chiseled nuts off cars... but those where things like the CV nuts.. that get tightened down to about 300 ft lbs by parinoid people...

but a sawz-all across your rim??? i would of just went to a tire shop and had them take it off to mount some studs... (the guy said the tire shop wouldnt touch his car unless he bought a product from them)

you drove a tap into your lug??? and then thought that would work to remove the lug??? hmm... ohh it wiggles i am just gonna pull on it... alright snap... hmm what to do now... lets drill this titanium tap out of the lug... hmm it wont work... its because of the fact that it is titanium...

DID YOU JUST SNAP THE TAP BY PULLING ON IT!!?!?!?!?!?!?! its not titanium if you could just break it by pulling on it...

if i was a judge... i would have some mental evaluations done, by a professional of my choice, and make sure the results come back as "mentally challenged" with a note from the professional that reads something like "me and the vw driver spent several hours in my office, doing several different tests, and going over things in his life, such as his home life, life in school and at work, and life as a child... in my best professional opinion, i would say, that vw owner, is incapable of having his drivers licenses, much less operating any sort of powered equipment, or touching any tools... this includes, but is not limited to tap and die sets, drills sawz-alls, or any motor powered vehicle.. i think it would be in the best intresst of all people involved in your case, to remove his driving privelages, and confinscate his car and tools... in my finishing statement, in laymens terms, he has an iq of 10(ten) points..."

haha im pretty dang professional...
