Made A Demotivator Today!
Well, after my recent experience with almost losing a front wheel at 60mph on Rt 4, I figured I could get a laugh out of it now.
Whatcha think?

Not sure exactly - I have a feeling either a kid at work was messing with my car, or someone tried stealing a rim and then noticed the locking lug after they loosened the others. Either way, I didn't catch it until I felt the vibrations, heard some evil bearing squeal, then those two lugs and studs let go when I got off the highway - the front end got real squirmy. I had it flat-bedded the rest of the way home and just got around to fixing it yesterday.

Thanx Bill! Yeah, it coulda sucked - the other three lugs were barely threaded on too. I bet if I had only gone another mile or so that wheel would have been rolling past me on the highway.
