In recent news:
"A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff's deputies said. From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was "peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as high as his chin, according to a sheriff's office report." The full article is here at MSNBC.
Having read this, I don't feel so stupid about my feeble tyre changing attempts anymore.
To top off the unfortunate self-shooting story "it was not immediately clear whether the shotgun blast loosened the lug nut." Ouch.

Ben,
You didn't have to worry about injuring yourself with a shotgun...we couldn't even budge the lug nuts!
