Last week i was going to go for my first time and my e fan controller crapped out.

Today I tried again, truck is running awesome. swapped my tires took my stereo out. start headed to the track. I get half way there, and that is when I found out I musta forgot to torque the lug nuts on one of my wheels. Off it goes taking my fender with it. FUCK>>>>>

Sorry to hear about your fender.

Take a deep breath and relax. There is always a million things that can and will go wrong.

Yep it's awesome to be in the middle of nowhere when this happens, with no jack. I had just taken it out.

Just be glad that you didnt change the tires at the track and have one come loose at the big end, that could have been much worse...plus having a tire bouncing into the other lane.....
It sucks, but given the circumstance, it could have been much worse.
Oh yeah, torque wrenches are your friend :D

Amen to that. Keep at it and have some fun...Hmm...I should take my own advice.

Well, looks like I'm gonna go to the track tomorrow. Weather looks to be not bad.

Hope my truck makes it to the track this time...
