I wasn't far from home and called my hubby...even his 250# self struggled to get them off. That's what cell phones are for, IMO.

When I got my first car, my dad gave me a cheater bar (I pipe really, you slip it over the end of the wrench that comes with the car) With the extra foot and a half of leverage, I can always get the lug nuts off. I've had one in every car since (and hubby's car too)
