I had this happen with my bus one day last year. The wheel almost fell off. It happened to some other drivers as well and RGRTA decided that it’s not possible to tighten lugs by hand so now we have “lug markers” on all outside tires. They are bright neon green and if even one is out of line you don’t take the bus out.
Hope you have a great Christmas!

I read OC’s first – can’t remember if I commented there or not. Glad it was not as bad in the end. Although it put you to a whole lotta stress for some one diagnosing wrongly! Never mind. As long as it is ok.

Yes, glad it wasn’t as bad but I would have enjoyed what you would have said to the garage.

ROFL. It’s always easy for others to laugh, isn’t it. I am happy for you that it turned out not so bad as you originally thought. However, I still think you should call the garage and let them know. That could have been dangerous to have a loose wheel like that, and they should at least know about it.

Our car doesn’t have such fancy wheel covers. Glad the nuts weren’t striped.

EeeGads, what a mess. Glad driver number two was able to get it taken care of.

Curious as to how the conversation with the installers will go. Hopefully they are stand up guys and make amends for the trouble.

Was the second tow driver a answer to prayer. Glad everything worked out.

I think I need to read the previous posts, because I don’t have a clue what is going on. Glad you are safe, though.

Oh well that’s better! MUCH better! I think I would still let the tire changers know … but I might be a little nicer than I was feeling yesterday about it! LOL! OC can talk to them – with 1/2 an attitude!

Sometimes it’s better a bit more drama…when your security is involved, for example…

Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!
