I like a lot of things that VW, does but the old combo lugnut/stud in 1 can be a pain!

At night, w a flat; you'd just about have to hold a flashlight in your mouth, hold the tire/wheel up w one hand in just the right spot, to start the nut/stud w your other.

Pretty awkward, I'd say! Nothing against women, but even a very competent one;
could you imagine her struggling in that night scene w this; and the happy remarks
one would hear about it from her later???
