I suppose we will have to agree to disagree on the use of an impact gun to tighten lugs. That's all well and good until you have a flat on the side of the road, and don't have your impact gun, and suddenly you can't get the lugs off by hand. I've helped several people remove lugs that were clearly put on by a tire shop with an impact gun and in some cases we actually DID have to resort to the "find a 300 lb guy and ask him to jump on the wrench" method.
This frustrates the hell out of me because the whole goddamned point to having a spare tire is to be able to change it yourself in an emergency. The whole concept of a spare tire goes out the window if someone has to call AAA because some idiot torqued their lugs to 5 million lb-ft.
