Default HOLY **** ONE SCARY MOMENT

ok well i was driving down the road right and i started to hear a noise coming from the wheels when i turned and when i got to my house i checked everything out and found that the lug nuts had come lose...lose enough so that i could turn them with my own hand easy..what a scary moment...i mean i could have been is a huge accident if they had come off...any one know of a reason why they might have done this..other than the fact that they might not have been tight enough before..i just did a brake job and put them on pretty tight

My uncle needed tires and had sears mount and balance them. He was driving home and one of the new tires THEY put on fell off as he came to a stop sign and into the ground went his Impalla SS. Thats why I do crap myself as much as I can.

JD told me that with some of those lug nuts, you gotta stroke em and kiss em for a minute before you put em back in. They arent as b*tchy when ya do that. So I was told. LOL, j/k.

Edit: Forgot to add the winky guy!
