So it started out as a very bleary eyed hungover saturday morning... waking up at my mates place after a pretty heavy night on the turps.... we were hungry, thirsty and out of smokes so i jumped in my car for a trip down to the supermarket as my car was blocking his in the driveway.
Being hungover and my car still cold i decided to take it slow and easy... out of the driveway i went and rounding a curve in my mates street all i hear is a groan from the rear end, a horrible scraping sound and then i started to slide... then a bounce... followed by more grinding and more bouncing until i could stop safely
... got out of the car and this is what i found
i couldnt believe it... i was on the side of the road cursing... ringing my mate, he couldnt believe what had happened, so he ran out with a jack and we proceeded to inspect how we could get my car back to his place, 3 of the 5 wheel studs were fine, bar some metal shavings from the inside of my rim, 1 was loose and one was stripped and bent up pretty bad.. i looked around for the nuts, but couldnt find any ( I had only driven 200 - 300m by now. I knew i had some spares in the boot. So we forced the rim back on, held it with 3 nuts and pushed it back home... cursing the whole way and wondering what the fuck had just happened.
Our answer came when we got back and assessed the damage of what we needed. It wasnt until we realised that one of my mates wheels only had 1 nut left ( it was the lock nut and it was pretty hammered) that we had both been the victim of attempted wheel theft. We were ready to start beating up on the neighbours, but couldnt really be sure which one it was.
So i gave my mate some nuts of my car and we both set out to various car part retailers to buy wheel studs and nuts for me, and new nuts for my mate...
5 tiring hours later we were done, still cursing the little fucking theif who had attempted to steal wheels and leaving the cars in such a dangerous state... however we are still not done.. I need to get Honda wheel studs... strangely enough commodore wheel nuts fit pretty spot on, however im not taking any chances. So that is this weekends job....
