How to remove lug nuts after you've already lifted the car in the air.
I jacked up my car and forgot to loosen the lugs. So I just grabbed a pry bar and slid up my seat to hold the brake down. Hooray for power seats!

This is also how I check brake lights and perform alignments. Nothing like a greasy prybar on the seat of a $120,000 car.
If you want a good laugh, I stumbled upon an alternative method as a little kid. I jacked up our volvo and my dad told me I needed to lower it again to loosen the lug nuts. However, i was ultra stubborn, so instead i jammed my foot under the tire and proceeded to (painfully) remove the lug nuts per usual. Thankfully my foot wasn’t crushed! Lesson: learned.
