I send neighborhood kids out on a lug nut hunt at least once a week. Was yours the steel one?

well listen to this.... i was on my way home and got stuck by a long train. i shut my car off and waited for it to pass. once i too off again i hear a loud grinding/vibrating noise. i though oh crap i blew my tranny so i let my dad take it for a spin and he came back and said it was something with my wheel. earlier that day i had just put new magnum 500 on my car. anyway i looked at my lugs and 3 of them, YES THREE OF THEM, were about to fall off they were so loose. moral is to always recheck your lugs after putting a wheel back on. i know i will.

 

that was funny as hell ....... now my keyboard is all wet from my tea...

 

wait....y is his car on jacks if he's installing a monte carlo bar? sway bar perhaps?

 

Getting the car on jack stands for a few days relaxes the shock towers and supposedly allows the MC bar to be put on easier. Mine went on without having to do that, but most guys use this method.

 

Ya got gremlins in your garage! Gnomes perhaps... only way to git rid of 'em is to put out some anti-freeze and a 5 gallon bucket of compression. Should wipe out the whole colony.
