Tightest lug bolts ever!!!

I had to check on the ABS sensor in my right rear wheel. What a surprise I had when I could NOT get the lug bolts off! My impact air gun could not (I have a 6hp 60-gallon compressor), and my 12" breaker bar could not, I needed a cheater bar of 24" on my 12" breaker bar! Plus, my weight (170 lbs.) to break them loose! never in my 57 years of car stuff have I seen anything like this! I have just bought the car because I always insist on tightening them with a torque wrench! I guess the tech thought this was a BMW TRUCK so he brought out the biggest impact gun!
