    Well why didn't you say so? You and 2 of your buddies grab a corner, pick it up, and drop it 3-4 feet a few times... the wheel will come right loose, no problems.

    On the one hand, my parents managed to come back from the Joe Cain Day parade (Mardi Gras in mobile, my extended family has a float) without any moon pies. WTF? I am not a happy BL1Y.

    But, on the other hand, I got some very good promotions for my new website. So, I think when you combine the two, I am have a very pain-free evening, if you know what I mean (I mean I'm drunk).

    Wait, you have a new website?

    You totally should have mentioned something here about it.

    I'm sleeping at my new place for the first time tonight. So far, a porn movie has failed to break out, but I'll keep you posted.

    If your manliness has been sapped out of you as a result of driving that emasculating car, then it's all good, go ahead and take it to a shop and have them do it. I'm sure they'll even pour you a nice cup of tea while you wait.

    On the other hand, if you're pissed and refuse to let something as stupid as a wheel/tire beat you, I have another suggestion.

    Totally your call, of course.

    The other thing you could try and do is push it off from the inside of the wheel, using your car's jack and some blocks.

    Set it up so the jack is sideways under the rear of the car, top pointing at one wheel, bottom pointing to the other. Use some wood or blocks or something to brace it against something that's solid under the car and not going to bend, like maybe the bottom of the other wheel. Apply just a LITTLE BIT of pressure, and then whack it with the sledge. You just want to give it just a bit of outward facing force to put it under load, not actually use the jack to just pop the wheel off. Keep adding just a very little bit more pressure with the jack, whack it again.


    Just a thought.

    Blame it on the booze, but I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

    I read it as being genuine, and assumed he missed your blatant pimping of said site through these forums for the past month.

    I mean, I think you mentioned it once or twice in the drunk thread.

    Well, in that case, and since I understand the drunk threads to be very forgiving (and I can assure you I am quite in the intoxed state right now), the new site is <a class="postlink" href="http://www.constitutionaldaily.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.constitutionaldaily.com/</a>

    And yes, that is Phila Lawyer and Dr. Rob you see with articles posted there. I'm actually e-mailing back and forth with Rob about his next piece (should be up next Wednesday), and Phila should have a bit on drinking in the office this Thursday.

    You should probably just give up the car for lost. Burn it for the insurance money or something, to save your pride... Or just get whacking with that damn hammer.

    I'm sorry, but did someone try to post something that wasn't about my new website?

    That ain't right...

    Anyways, I am now off to bed to see who will win the ultimate of ultimate showdowns: booze v. caffeine.

    That car has alloy wheels? You took a photo of a steel wheel. Which begs the question why would you lie about having such a girly car? Unless you actually drive this?

    Does this mean that someone else took the "Gayest Car Driven By a Man" title from me?

    Now this is pretty fucking cool.

    Just found out that an old acquaintance of mine, who's in band called Big Head Todd and the Monsters, got to wake up the space shuttle crew this morning.

    They won a song search competition put on by NASA, and got to be in Mission Control and play it live for the astronauts.

    Todd sang it acoustically playing the guitar, and the 3 other guys just hung out in the background, but still fucking cool.

    I didn't even know different cars had different types of wheels, but I can assure you, I still have the stock wheels on it and the scion xa is indeed my car (unfortunately). Maybe since the hubcap is off it looks like something weird is going on. I can take a picture if you'd like...

    In any case, I'm about to go pump it full of more air and drive it down to some tire specialists. I truly do appreciate all the suggestions you guys have given me but I really don't feel comfortable trying them; they all seem a bit too dangerous considering how small of a car it is. I'm kind of risk-averse, I know.

    Now if they can't get it off, I guess my only option will be to try some of the things mentioned. Keep your fingers crossed.

    Lightweight. Go big or go home.

    Mind you, he probably has one of these in the glove compartment.

    Well I just got it taken care of for $25. I don't think the shop bothered trying to get the wheel off. They just threw on a replacement tire on top. Takes care of the problem so I'm happy. I was expecting a cost of about $100. This works out just fine. Again, thanks for all the advice, everyone.
