It's supposedly on its way there. Some sections are nice and smooth, but others are just plain horrible.

No clue. I did park my car outside the garage the day before while waiting for my mom to get ready, so unless someone is f*cking with me, I don't have a clue.

Damn, two weeks? I just went to Les Schwab again and bought 3 more tuner lugs, one for the replacement, and two extras just in case this happens again.

33OH · 07-02-2009, 02:49 PM

I have a tool set in my car, but never had anything but the stock tire iron (which doesn't fit my lug nut tool).

^good thinking. spare lugs can never hurt. i have a few in my trunk myself, and it's already bailed me out of trouble once. had a 5 a.m. flat on the 101 and somehow stripped two lugs while attaching the spare. spare lugs ftw!
