yeah no doubt. I mean, this was one of those random things that never happens. When i work on his car, he double and triple checks everything i do. And the same goes for when he works on my car. I just, looked at everything BUT the tire that day. Never again. I've actually constructed a checklist that i will now use on every job. That will also aid in a lot of DIY's i plan to post up, so keep an eye out for those.

..i bet your thinking "yeah right, i'm gonna follow a DIY from a guy who's wheel almost fell off" haha..

Lucky that you caught it soon. That could've been really bad. That's the exact reason that I and only I touch my car.

i bet man, theres a potential to do a lot of damage when something like that happens. Not to mention inflict some major panic to those inside...

My situation could have been a lot worse, needless to say i got lucky. And it WONT happen again, thats for damn sure
