Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 2008Missing lug nuts
I pulled into a shopping center parking space right next to this real small Honda beater (I think a Civic that was so old it must have had a two digit serial number) and noticed that the RF wheel was missing one of its four lug nuts. The driver was in the car so I walked around his car to tell him about it, along the way noticing that the LF wheel was in the same shape. When I told the jerk in the driver's seat about the missing nuts, he told me-- in broken Spanglish-- to go F*** off. My question is how long will I have to wait until his wheel(s) fall of and he loses control of the car so I can see him upside down in a roadside ditch? > I pulled into a shopping center parking space right next to this real > small Honda beater (I think a Civic that was so old it must have had a [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > and he loses control of the car so I can see him upside down in a > roadside ditch? Probably forever. Three lugs properly tightened are sufficient to hold the wheel on the hub. But your Spanglish guy is still a dummy for driving around this way.

BTW, he's (also) probably using the park brake instead of the foot brakes. I called the cops when I saw a guy doing that once. :-) 'Curly'
