> Oh man, I hate hate hate hate the mechanics (seemingly all of them) that just put the lug nuts back on with an impact wrench instead of properly torquing them. THANKS GUYS! I never wanted to actually remove that tire or anything. I'm sure that when I have to change a flat, I'll also have easy access to an impact wrench and not be stuck with, say, a simple lug wrench.

I'm with you, Stephen. The last time I had to change a tire, I ended up having to go out and buy brand new lug nuts AND bolts for the wheel, because the nuts were on so tight that I actually twisted off a couple of the bolts in trying to get the nuts off.
