Transcript
Have you ever wondered why some semi trucks have spiked lug nuts like this? Well, there's actually a good reason for it. It's so that in case cars on the highway get too close to them, they can take them out Bad Max style and shred their tires into into a pulp and then take their car out and just, like, can flip and jump into it and cause a crash on the highway and flip over and explode and have a bunch of explosions on the highway. And that and that way, they can take the cars out Bad Max style. Now you know.
