It took us 3 weeks to replace the Nav consoles... But it all taught me, you can't have nice things these days. Too many A-holes...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 15th 2007 7:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</guid><description><![CDATA[I cant believe something like this doesnt have some special type of locking lug. <br>ps.

Please.  I lost the key to my lug nuts once.  It took maybe 5 minutes on Google to figure out a cheap, easy way around it.  Universal keys that shape themselves to fit around the lug nuts are available (which plenty of wheel shops have, as well as a local SEARS), as are 12-point sockets that you can hammer onto the lug nut to twist them out.  If you have enough clearance, you can even get away with using vise grips.  All of the wheel locks I've seen don't do crap once someone decides they really want your wheels.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[darkmastyr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 15th 2007 7:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, lug locks are a feature to make the car seem more secure in some kind of way (when considering tire wheel security). You should just consider them normal lug nuts, I've been since the early 90's when I saw the lug keys for sale at your local Pep Boys.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WillDaThrill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 15th 2007 11:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Story about locking lugs and how they saved me. <br><br>One night I was parked in a shady section of Pittsburgh. Came out the next morning, got in the car, and picked up my friend. As we drove I felt a shimmy in the steering column and brake petal. Didn't think much of it at first but it got progressively worse.<br><br>Got back to my buddy's driveway and checked out the tires thinking maybe something was bent and causing the violent shaking. Came to find that my front driver's side wheel...all the lugs were gone except for the locking lug. Took the locking lug off and the wheel fell right off the car.<br><br>I'm guessing some asshole tried to steal the wheels only to discover part of the way in that the wheels were locked on. That single lug might have saved my life.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Justin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 16th 2007 8:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good story Justin. You don't even need special universal locknut remover, a impact socket a bit bigger then the locknut removes them easily without leaving marks on the locknut. My husband lost his locknut key once and this is how he got them off. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kinburn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 16th 2007 10:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</guid><description><![CDATA[One less rice-burner.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[willem]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 15th 2007 6:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</guid><description><![CDATA[You can always count on Willem to add his own special brand of worthless BS comments to threads like this....<br><br>What a tool.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cornholio]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 15th 2007 10:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/2008-mugen-edition-honda-civic-si-vandalized-on-dealer-lot/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's a shame...
