To kill impetent grease techs.

This is not ment to bash John Barb who hooked me up on the installing my wheels, but to the stupid russian who installed them, He cross threaded a bolt on my rear wheel, causing the stud to twist and snap. And to top it off, he even used an air gun and it didnt take any strength to break the tourqe on the lugs.

I was trying to take my wheels off to clean them inside & out, I loosened all the bolts a bit to easily, and when I got to the last bolt, when I loosened it, it just felt as if it were getting tighter. I tried one more time then *SNAP* The lug nut just came out along with the entire wheel stud inside of it!!!

Just my ****ing luck. I was going to go for Best Wheels or something at the Nats, but it completely backfires in my face. Guess I'll be rocking the acura tommorow maybe?

I'd still drive it. In fact, I wouldnt even have mentioned this and still went for best wheels, see if anyone would notice.
