Repainting my calipers black. My lug nut key strips on the last lock.

 

i have good luck too, my car broke down but luckily i was righ next to a rest area....

 

mine stripped last week....i was ******* pissed.

 

just out of curiousity, what type of locks are these?

 

I'd put money on Kyokugens...

 

My car was totaled and then the police man wrote me the ticket when it wasnt my fault just because i was 17 at the time.. you think you have bad luck? This was 2 weeks after i got a 26 over speeding ticket.. now im 18 and dont have a license.. nice eh? :\

 

that's what i was thinking too...

want to argue about bad luck, eh? earlier this summer i wasn't paying attention and backed my car into a truck parked in my driveway. i took it to the bodyshop and sunk $1200 into getting the dent fixed. i picked it up 3 days later and it was perfect. i went right from the bodyshop to meet my friends for lunch and while i was eating, my car was hit in the parking lot--no note or anything, just a nice big dent. since the first repair broke the bank, the dent remains...

 

damn that sux where they kyokugens or whatever those lug nut/keys every1 complains about? anyway bust out the sand paper and hammer a socket on to get your old socket out.. and have a friend take you to go buy a new set..

 

okay i suppose im the only one never with a kyokugen problem...i guess im actually lucky.

 

i actually don't have a kyokugen lug nut/key set.. I just heard a lot of people w/ broken ones (on H-T and friends).. I have a set of Mugen lugs and some multispoke lug lock..

 

No they weren't kyokugens. They are some locks my friend gave me. Well it was like 90* out and i guess having the key in direct sunlight and on the black asphalt softened the metal. They are the regular odd shaped locks you buy at any store. The part that stripped was the end you put your wrench or four way on.
