but I will.
By adding a third wheel to a bike you get a trike, which is a useful thing, more stable than a bike.
By adding a fifth wheel you are adding something completely unnecessary.
Hence the term always has and always will be "Fifth wheel".

There are loads of wheels in a car, and besides, the saying was around since before I was born, which means it has been around forever, which means it was around before the invention of cars (but after the invention of the wheel) so when King Harry the 8th said it, he had no concept of what a car is, thus Al is wrong.
