Wow... Glad to know your wheels weren't stolen.

Perhaps I should get different lugnuts as well.

So how's SYTYCD?

Def not 20,000 differnt locking lugs how would a dealer be able to get your wheels off then??? My Nissan tech has a set of like 15 or so keys for each of the OEM locking lug sets.

I wrote service for Nissan for a while, I always remember the techs throwing a ***** fit because there were endless possibilities for the locking lug pattern. There has to be more than 15.. there was a box in the shop with like 30 or 40 keys and none of them were ever the right one.

Goof is a Pro 4 at best buy (which are the best sales man and actually make really good money) so he gets the 500 dollar viper for a ridiculous price.

you know they make wheel lock kits that can take off ANY lock. You just hammer that **** on and start turnin. When I worked at a shop for 5 years there wasnt 1 lock i could not get off. If they want your wheels, theyll take them. Having 5 locks might just take more time which could be a good thing. Alarm + garage your best friends.

How did they get past Rays locks??

The lock that comes with Rays lugs, I would think it would be best out there.

When your putting $5K worth wheels on ride.

You know they moved a lot of low income people out that way

The mall is starting to get very ghetto, you have all those dam kids running about.

Thank your Gov for Fuking up our nice areas with moving low income people who make less then 15K a year into our places like ours.

Thank Gov for letting people on *** Section 8 get homes in nice area
