Well I was driving home from the grocery store tonight and heard a strange clunking noise, so I stopped and looked around and nothing out of the ordinary. So I went on my way, well my car started vibrate and sway real bad and BAM the ass of my car is slammed and I swore I lost my wheel and it was rolling down the road. I coasted to a stopped and got out to check my messed up rotor and well my wheel was still there. hmmmm what the hell just happened? Being the worst time to forget my cell phone at home I ran for about a mile and almost rolled my ankle so I walked for another through downtown corvallis and then ran the rest of the way home, got ahold of Jordan and we went to check out my car. turns out I did lose a wheel, it just wasn't rolling away, the wheelwel trapped it and the rotor was rolling on the wheel. Damage was a scratched up inner part of the wheel and a stripped out bolt hole. Lesson leared: never forget your phone and get locking nuts, and dont run in chuck taylors!!

Or apply a small dab of JB weld to the threads before tightening them down.
