problem?

I just noticed that my front left wheel is missing a stud! I only have 4 right now, is this a serious problem or should I not worry about it at the moment?

RE: problem?

Personally, it's okay, but the way I look at it, is Ford did the 5-lug, and most likely w/ a purpose behind it..

If you wanted to take it racing, I can almost guarantee they won't let you race, once a Tech. Monkey sees it...

The guy w/ 3 lugs is nuts!! I would NEVER voluntarily drive a car on the highway w/ only 3-lugs, unless I was asking to hurt myself..
