Holy crap man, how could you not notice something like that? Have you checked your oil yet? Owners manual FTW.

BTW you spelled "the" wrong 12 times, and correctly 5 times. Whatever grading scale you work under, that does equate to 'FAIL.'

(just for future reference, Sartis and I are both perfect)

You should never have rolled the car a foot once you noticed/were notified of the problem.

That video was absolutely hilarious.

So you drove the car 6000 miles and all the sudden the wheels fall off? That seems weird. Glad you survived, hope it's not too expensive to fix.

I've got some stock S2000 lug nuts you can have if you need some.

6k miles and 10 months....I say that someone probably tried to steal your wheels and got spooked during the process. If the wheel was installed incorrectly that long ago you would have noticed at least a little shake when you started driving day 1.

He's not the first with this issue, others noticed nothing until the studs broke. He got lucky that they loosened over time instead of breaking.

Loose lugs are very obvious when driving though, I've experienced them at 100+MPH and immediately slowed down and went into the pits asap. Continuing to drive, even for a short distance is just asking for trouble. Couldn't easily stop on sebring, but on the street you should have immediately.

I had to stop reading because, he kept driving the car knowing his wheels could fall off at any time

Be safe young man for your self and others, please don't drive your car cartoon style with the wheels wobbling all around
So the smart thing to do would be to sit in rush hour traffic in a work zone to f around with my wheels when I can easily get the car off the road 1000' away. C'mon man you can't be serious. I value my life more than a f'n car.

get over yourself dude, sorry I don't log a ton of time on the web and have mad typing skillz! I take good care of my car and wouldn't think that I would need to check that. My bad I'm not perfect like you and your boyfriend. I hope you feel better about yourself that you need to point out someone elses shortcomings. Your the same kind of guy that stands in teh club with your butt buddy and cuts down every chick that walks by yet still leaves alone at the end of the night to go home to a bottle of Jergens. F'off asshat!

My car is garaged whenever I'm not driving it. Which is pretty much 95% of the time.

Heres the thing though, when I finally removed teh wheels the lugs were tight . I mean TIGHT! T-h-e (sarcasm) wheels must have gotten off center causing the wobble. I couldn't feel anything at normal speeds, But accoding to witnesses they were wobbling.


Regarding some of my earlier posts. I don't regret saying what I did. This used to be a forum where I had high opinions of people and it seemed that everyone was polite and friendly. but as of late there has been some real asshole comments and just outright rudeness going on. I don't know if it's the election or what but some people need to relax, get laid or whatever.

The misspelling of "the" is common among those of us who are not perfect in the art of touch typing. Some of us have lives that extend beyond the realm of the internet.
