Thank You Wal Mart

Just when you think you have seen it all and can cope with Appalachia, you get a new surprise. 

I went to remove the tire on my car the other day, but it was a bit more difficult than expected. I eventually removed the lug nuts on my tire, but what you see above is the amount of force required to do so. The last people to touch the tires were Wal Mart about 6 months ago when they changed the tires.  That would be the Wal Mart in Monticello, Kentucky. It's sad. I had this tire wrench for over 30 years. It survived MG's, SUV's, and compact cars. It's been all over the country. It survived the Yukon territory. It survived Alaska. It didn't stand a chance against the hillbillies of Eastern Kentucky.
