locking lug nuts

AHHHH no the dreaded locking lug-nut. I had some on my Cobra R's, well the right front lock stripped out, so did the key. And the lug nut tappered in, so you could barely get a socket on it. Tried that for a while never could get it to budge. Then tried to JB weld a socket on it(getting pretty desperate by then). Still didn't work. Finally after EVERYTHING else failed, had to weld the socket on. Scuffed up the rim a lil bit, but some gray paint took care of that. =P Never again.
