How did that pass tech inspection?

How could he not feel that in the first turn?

apparently the company sent him the wrong size lugnuts ... so their stress tolerances weren't exactly up to snuff... Laughing


it's one way to get your car slammed at least

I figured it was more than just loose lug nuts. have loose lugs is one thing, having all 4 wheels come off like that is a whole diffrent game. If he had the wrong threads on the lugs so they weren't engaging, I can see that happening.

I wonder how he managed to torque them down if they were on that badly.

I can't seem to see any lugs flying off. With them all falling off at the same time.... it's like someone rigged it.

on the back when it shows it, it dosen't look like there are any studs left...


on their main page, it states the guy torqued the wrong sized lug nuts down and they just didn't have any holding power...

i'll keep an eye on it for more details though

Thats what I thought 'cause all 4 wheels came off at the same time. Too funny! Laughing
