Yea, someone was in for a bad day. It always astonishes me how clueless some people are.

One guy I worked with had a front tire come off of his VW. I know it was making a lot of racket for months with loose lug nuts. And when it got down to the last of them before they broke off from the abuse it had to sound like a washing machine full of gravel.

I have been in a hurry and forgot to torque down the lug nuts and driven away. Before I got to the end of the driveway I knew I was a moron, went right back in to the garage and torqued the lugs.

Now I lay the torque wrench in the driver seat as I start a project so I can't forget to torque them.
