them off.
Sorry to be a dolt!
Chrysler Corporation cars had opposite-threaded lugnuts on each side of
the car for one reason: To prevent them from loosening and throwing
themselves off of the car in normal, forward motion. It was a great
idea, in theory. It confused too many ignorant mechanics with
high-pressure airhammers, though.
Chrysler also pioneered doorlocks that DIDN'T self-release during
roll-over accidents, glass that didn't break into dagger-like shards,
and tires that didn't fly off of the rim when they were punctured at
high speed.
