I watched it like 5 times. At that point are you really that upset about 1 missing lug that probably few off and went 200 yards east?

"Haha well, my wheels flew off mid-drift and my car is sitting on its rotors and exhaust, and, wait a minute, WHERE THE HELL IS MY $3 LUG NUT?!?!?"

According to the people who were there, the guy just bought those set of wheels, and the tireshop gave him the wrong lug nuts. The thread pattern on the nuts don't match the threads on the studs. So as soon as he pull lateral G on the rims, they all pop off.

You know, I've heard people say that, but this is the first time I've seen it. I did experience 1 wheel coming off of my 65 Mustang after leaving a garage where they changed the tire. They paid for the damages.
