Couple of points here since I had the winged ones on my 1946 MG TC and loved
them...

1.  According to at least Mo$$ the wings are available in both thread sizes.


2. They were developed for rapid changes of wheels on racing cars back in
the day.

3. They are MUCH easier to get on and off than the hex using the proper
brass/lead Thor hammer.

4. "Cash for Clunkers" was introduced some years ago in California by Nancy
Pelosi and Barbara Boxer. It was a miserable failure as it will be this
time. It's our own fault for letting them do it on a national level despite
its demonstrated failure.

I guess when it doesn't work in wacky land, you get the same people to foist
it off on the entire country. Maybe we can ALL go bankrupt like California!!

Cheers!!
Jim
