sooo apparently when you don't use the proper tools to tighten lug nuts your wheel falls off. yep, my front left wheel fell of. i have no one to blame but myself lol. good thing i was right next to work and was going slow...thought i had a blow out so i started to pull off then klunk! i saw my wheel take off on the shoulder... so that was fun. all good now, no damage besides the tire folding up my fender, no biggie it was already jacked from that tree i 'love tapped' . luckily i had extra lug nuts i acquired from crazy rays with me.

I'll let you know if / when I get one. I've been doing a little research, and the information is limited. Apparently there was a PS3 update fairly recently, and one review on IGN (I think) stated that the update rendered his unit nonfunctional. It may have just broken, or it could have some merit. I'm trying to dig more information up about it, but there's very little to be found. I'm going to call the company in Hong Kong later tonight and hope someone can shed some light.

Country, I realized that after I left, while I was driving around lol.
Kevin, sorry to hear it, man. I knew your job sounded too good to be true! I wish I could help with the money, but that's something I can't spare right now.
zwhiz, glad you're safe. My buddy's wheel fell off on the Autobahn when we were over there. He was doing 130mph, and pictures of his BMW make my Jeep look brand new.

My supervisor is coming over around 7:30 or so. Since I'm under doctor's orders to stay in my apartment and sleep as much as possible, I can't go to work tomorrow night. That means I get to go to the M&G at BW3.
