My stepson, a tow<BR>truck driver for ten years now, was on hand to help the old man.<BR><BR>"I hate cars that use bolts instead of having studs on the wheels," he said.<BR><BR>I can see his point. With studs, you have something to hang the heavy tire<BR>on, but with bolts, I found myself needing three hands: two to lift and<BR>align the bolt holes and a third to start the first bolt. He provided that<BR>third hand. I'm hoping I'll never have to do it by myself.<BR><BR>--<BR>Jack "Rocket j Squirrel" Elliott<BR>1984 Westfalia, auto trans,<BR>Bend, Ore.<BR>-----<BR>No virus found in this message.<BR>Checked by AVG - <A class=parsedLink href="http://www.avg.com/" target=_blank>www.avg.com</A><BR>Version: 10.0.1382 / Virus Database: 2437/5227 - Release Date: 08/27/12<BR></DIV></div>
