I had a mechanic over-torque the hell out of the lugs 2x before. Once at my house and even a 4 foot pipe wouldn't budge it, cordless impact at a friends shop wouldn't, finally a 300# impact took it off. The 2nd time I was with my mom and her tire blew on interstate, didn't come off until roadside assistance found an air impact. LOL, come to think of it, the 2nd instance was the day before I bought the STi, I was supposed to buy it the same day, but we were 45 minutes away and I kept telling the guy it should only be a few more minutes till we got the tire changed. 4 hours later it was too late for us to go to the bank.

Its absurd, and it's dangerous. Thankfully I guess he broke it rather than possibly leaving me stranded somewhere if I had gotten a flat.
