        Wow. That’s insane. I’d love to be walked through the technology behind that.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          Notice it takes only one action for one technician to "unscrew" whatever fastener(s) that secures a tire to the car, and one action to "screw" it/them back on.

          Would love to know more about how that fastener(s) and the tool that "screw/unscrew" it/them work. Does not look like "nuts and bolts" sort of mechanism.

              I always figured wheel torque was used to ensure any loose-fitting wheel would cinch up under acceleration.
