I needed a good laugh

I was at our local Benz dealer having a couple bulbs changed and I asked the Service Advisor about changing my lug bolts (some were lightly rusted). He asked how many I wanted and I said "all of them". I was hugely amused when he told me twenty lug bolts would cost $300. I can always count on MB to give me a good laugh. .

I bought some powder coated ones since I was tired of looking at the rusty ones. I think I paid about $60 on eBay.

I cleaned up the old ones and painted them with epoxy paint and will run them with my winter wheels.

For the above, you'll need ... although a normal 17mm socket fits, too.
