Holy tight lugnuts batman!

Chocked the wheels and was using a 18" bar with 1/2 drive and 17mm socket to break the lugnuts before jacking supporting and removing the front wheels for more access to something I was working on. This is the first time I've put a wrench to the lugs as the car is still relatively new to me. Got all but one cracked free..........The stubborn one was not yielding and the bar was flexing and the wheel was starting to slip on the smooth cement floor. Went in to ask my wife for 15 seconds of assistance. Got a four foot pipe out of the basement...as we were alking to the garage she said "what's that?" I said "Atlas".....while she held the chock in place with her foot I used Atlas and got the stubborn lug free without breaking anything. As we walked back in she said "Who knew - Physics really does have a practical application"

Thanks for listening dear reader that is all...."atlas" -1
stubborn lug - 0

Jackass who impacted the lugs on - I'd like to smash your windshield with "Atlas"
