The LUG NUT RULE, they that have the most lug nuts win every time...

Just think about it , a bicycle or motorcycle has four lug nuts, a car has between sixteen and twenty, if a bicycle or motorcycle gets hit by a car... Who wins?

Another example a car has between sixteen and twenty,(see above) a tractor trailer has fifty, if a car gets hit by a tractor trailer... Who wins?

So you see in the lug nut rule when a person (has no lug nuts) gets hit by a dump truck (has thirty) the person loses

Now every rule has exceptions. Bicycle with training wheels (has six) vs motorcycle (has four). Motorcycle wins.
Roller blades (has 16) vs small car (also has 16), It's not a tie.
I think the rule should be amended to consider the total weight of the lug nuts.

Tig, If we are getting nit picky about it.. then i don't think a bik or pair o' blades has any 'lug' nuts.. but rater has axle/hub retianing nuts, as the rim is integral tot he hub, and rides on an axle, with an axle retaining nut.. thus no lug nuts.. etc. That throws the whole thing out of whack!

I guess my addendum to the theory does not pass the peer review process.

Guess it depends on what you consider lugnuts. My motorcycles all have a rear axle with one nut and between none and 8 lug nuts on the front, depending.

I will play devil's advocate! No lug nuts?

ps. I have been told that I am short a few lug nuts.

Does the nut retain the axle, or hub to the axle? Or does it connect a removable rim to the hub? ( 1-piece integral hub / rim? )

And with Mass. drivers if the smaller vehicle does'nt yield, better dial 911.
