Wheels mean mobility and affluence. That's white privilege.

Doors mean privacy and affluence. That's white privilege.

Bunch of privileged racist bastards, we are.

The question is too vague.  We'll need more concrete definitions for a "wheel" and a "door".  Is a steering wheel a wheel?  How about a ships wheel?  The wheel of fortune?  The flywheel in my car?  What counts as a door?  Only doors people go through?  The door on my electrical panel?  The door on my stove?  How about the door that covers the batteries on my keyboard?

If I were to pick my house, there are far more wheels than doors when you count wheels on my lawn mower, edger, dolly, etc.  May be some nuances with the definitions that would throw things around.

Don't most doors have hinges that could be counted as wheels? (The hinge pins are usually round, aren't they?)

Absolutely not! It it doesn't go all the way around in a circle, it's a pivot, not a wheel!

The wheels on the bus go round round round...

And if you call it in, then the person on the radio goes "have you tried turning the bus off and turning it back on again"?  (The ratio of truth to exaggeration is actually quite high here.)

Let me tell you a little story about that...

Few years ago I was working in DC and was taking a series of buses, including a local commuter bus.

One day commuter bus starts having issues, can't remember what it was, it might have been something with the fare collection system.

Driver pull over to a stop, asks us all to get out, says he needs to "reset the bus."

We get out, he walks back to a panel that he open and pulls what looks like a HUGE circuit breaker. Bus goes completely quiet. He waits a minute, then flips this breaker again, get on, spends a minute or three running some diagnostics (I guess?) and then tells everyone to get back on the bus, and off we go.

He literally turned the bus off and back on again.

Thats' what I used to call a "Monday morning cold start"  I got to be a minor hero for "fixing" our printers by unplugging them from AC, waiting ten-fifteen minutes, and plugging them back in so the factory diags would run after the internal backup system had discharged completely.

I got to be less of a hero after I explained that technique to someone; she started to use it surreptitiously and she got to be a hero.
