How-dee!!!!

How many times can I expect my wheel studs to withstand being torqued to
the recommended 100 ft/lbs on my Neon?

During the race season I change the tires every weekend which means two
100 ft/lb torquings each weekend.  Sooner or later they've got to fail
with that many torque cycles but I never hear about such things.

See you on course.

You jump in front of my car  When you know all the time
That 90 miles an hour  Girl  Is the speed I drive
You tell me it's all right  You don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive
