Fun fact. Smash a spark and use the pieces of the ceramic cover to break windows.

Fuck, I always thought this was a myth, but I guess not... from my extensive three minute Google search, turns out it's 100% real
You can also just use a broken mug or plate which although more expensive are probably more accessible in a pinch.
Disclaimer: Only do that if you actually have to break a window. Don't just walk around smashing randing windows
I see you're a Walking Dead fan
Someone hasn't seen one of those compilations of tires flying off the car and killing unsuspecting pedestrians/drivers.
I'm really curious to see how they affixed the spark plugs to the lugs. I'm guessing glue of some sort.
I'd bet the car originally had lug bolts in a m12x1.25.... which is also a common spark plug thread size
Some hubs use lug bolts into a threaded hub instead of lug nuts on protruding studs. Lug bolts don't seem to be as common as studs.
Not to mention how they're delivering the high voltage to the plugs and how a tiny spark will melt snow. Glow plugs might stand a slightly better chance. Slightly.
We need to bring back 4 lug cars
Wouldn't more be better because of the strenght?
4 lug forces cars to be smaller and less powerful. Can't have a fuckhuge 3 ton crossover with 4 lug wheels
And with smaller, calmer cars, we get better fucking sightlines.
And while we're at it let's ban those 10,000 lumen HIDs from blinding everyone at night too
