Jerry Frontend PA WTF??
Well last night i was pulling into my driveway and i had been hearing a noise while costing and was much like a "Clunk". Well when i finally stoped to look to see what it could be, I'm missing 2 lugnuts on the passanger side, and ALL of my front lugnuts are loose. I had my frontend alligned about 3 weeks ago and they must have forgot to trq the lugs or something because all of them are easy enough to remove by hand..... Just though i should tell someone this.
Thank god i caught this or my car would have ended up like StreetAssassins

Did you have the tires balanced or anything? They wouldn't take them off to do an alignment. Also, if they were that loose, they probably wouldn't have taken near that long to come off. Are you sure you don't have an enemy messing with your car?

dude are you sure you didnt walk up on someone tryin to jack your rims. maybe they saw you and ran. they dont remove the wheels for an alignment, and they would have asked for your lock if they did. Sounds to me like someone wanted those wheels, remeber vette wheels aren't cheap, and seems like lately the dope fiends have been out on the prowl for **** to steal.

I dont know where someone could have done that at though. the cars been in the garage for most the time other then that I went to the mall once about 2 weeks ago, but I dont see someone jacking rims in broad daylight? Who knows I'll just keep an eye out.

Yeah I've used them before with no problems, normally everybody talks good about them. But I'm with them, sounds more like someone was tinkering with your car, but like you said it hasn't been anywhere. I've had a tire come off before on my truck but it could've been my error or somebody trying to jack my tires cuz I go all over in it. I think it was my error though, haven't had that problem since though. At least you caught it.
