    watch out! don't use your feet to tighten lug nuts because you can bend the studs and snap them.

    i just learned that lesson last weekend...
    My pictures/photos will return soon...

      Thats pretty fucked up! Good thing you werent going any faster. My shits on tight, but thats always been a fear of mine.

      Driving down the highway and BOOM wheel flies off and the car loses control

      GL putting it back together.
      rim/tire came off. Tire still on rim but blown. Looks like my rotor was owned too. Gotta check my oil pan too and make sure its not dented cause my car is super sensitive to oil pressure. I now have an excuse to get those brakes I always wanted. So far the bill is running me $250 for parts.
