and I broke a lug nut... thought I snapped off a wheel stud... time to replace all the lug nuts. posted a pic.... any one ever had this happen to them? I was using a 4 way lug wrench to tighten the nuts and one just popped right off!!! ARRRRRG!!!and yeah looks like I will be fixing the metal thing that holds the side windows... the metal is rusted away and the rubber was so hard it just cracked. so my windows dont roll up and down... that sucks
Fun Fun Fun!!!
