Default I HATE LOCKING LUGNUTS!!! Funny but crappy begining of '08

So, I'm driving west on N I75 today from Miami back up to Tampa, and the car just starts to pull hard left. SH$T I say to myself and pull over. Yup flat tire. No problem, I threw the jack and stuff back in the car for the trip. (Usually not in the car). So I get everything out and low and behold... I FORGOT MY LUG KEY!!!! Roadside assitance came and towed me to a shop who was able to pound on a socket to get the lock nut off. But 5 hours and $75.00 later I was able to restart my trip home and pass the same spot for a second time for the day...

Bad pic, from the ole camera in the phone...

Well after seeing how easy it was for them to take it off, there really is no point...

I've had 4 Mustangs, I have 4 sets of locking lug nuts in the drawer. First thing I did was take those da-ned things off. I have good insurance.

Did it get up on the tow truck ok? Looks like that spoiler might be a problem?

Im with you guys on tossing the wheel locks away.
But I just bought new rims and decided to get locks for them, lol.
Stock wheels no, nice aftermarked ones i guess.

We were able to air up the tire long enough for me to drive it up the ramp. No scrape. The guy said that he could barely see light under it. Got lucky...
