A MAN tried to loosen a stiff wheel nut by shooting it with a shotgun - and ended up in hospital with both legs seriously damaged.

The 66-year-old man, who police insist was stone-cold sober, was fixing the car outside his Washington state home when he fired at the wheel from arm's length with a 12-gauge.

He was peppered with buckshot and debris and taken to hospital with severe injuries from his feet to his abdomen. Some pellets even reached his chin.

Police said the man had been repairing his car for weeks and had managed to take off every nut except one. Unable to budge it, he turned to his gun.

"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," police spokesman Scott Wilson said.

What a fuckwit, doesn't he realise this is the reason angle grinders or cold chisels were invented?
