VERY close call
heres the story:
changed my 17" to 13" winter tires last wed.
after i guess i didn't tighten the bolts enough.
So the next few days, i drive it and i hear weird noises, and i thought it was just the air pressure, but it was still making the noises
I ask someone about it and they said that winter tires make a certain sound when you drive on them, so i just figured everything was fine.
Then on Sat, driving to work the noise gets louder. Didn't do anything about it, but then on my way home, the noise gets so loud that i was afraid to drive it home, and check it their.
So i get out and guess what
the front passenger side tire has 1 locknut missing and 3 which are lose, but not to badly.
The passenger rear side tire has 4 bolts almost off, a few more turns and i would've been riding on no tires, and tons of damages.
you guys can now tell me how stupid i was

When I was about 16 my friend and I had swapped some 10" slicks on Cragar rims on his ** mustang and we threw some 7" Cragars on the 76 Monte Carlo (we had two sets that we swapped back and forth between us), and we forgot to tighten the Monte's lugs. We lost one lug, tore out another stud, and the rest were loose. So we pulled over and "borrowed" a lug nut off some van at a gas station. The broken stud didn't matter much. It makes this loud thunking noise, and the car handles wierd.
