I thought he was driving the first car off the assembly line from Obama Motors.

The car had just stopped and the passengers had changed from winter to summer wheels themselves, a common task in Switzerland where there is plenty of snow in winter, but used the wrong nuts when mounting the new set.

Ruh, Roh!

I know the feeling. We just had the wrong nuts take over two of our major car companies.

Sounds like a bunch of college professors trying to change a tire.

How does one change tires and use the wrong set of lug nuts? Too, how do they not know they don’t fit?

Cast alloy wheels often use different lug nuts than pressed steel wheels.

I just spent 18 years if my life workig for a Swiss company. They “reorganized” and let me go today. Looking at their utter lack of management skills in the past few years, this doesn’t surprise me.
