Default Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.

So I bought a 93 prelude that is beat up pretty bad for like $500 and it runs but the radiator is crushed. We are towing it home and the wheel starts shaking really bad. Then the front left wheel comes off. I thought that something broke but nothing did. The lug nuts came off. The kid took off the rims he had on it and put on the stock Si wheels and didn't torque them down worth ---- because all of them were loose when I checked them. He said he torqued them down but I don't believe him. So I had to lift the back of the car up while my sister put the jack under the car as far as it would go because the car was sitting on the rocker. Where ever the jack was at I just started jacking it up. I found the old wheel that blew up in the wreck and put it under the car so I could put the jack under the front jack point. I called him up and had him bring me some lug nuts. Luckily he did because I know where that ****** lives. Plus a cop stopped and know what was going on. But it needs a lot of work to get into drivable condition. So to all the ----------ers that do some shady stuff you you might want to consider that you are putting other peoples lives in your own hands. What if that wheel came loose and I flew into on coming traffic? Just a little heads up to make sure you do things that are safe.

I don't get why the front wheel was a problem if you were towing it?

Yikes. Why didnt you check the lugs? I'm ---- retentive like that. I would've retorqued them, even if I saw him do it.

I fixed most of it and even added a 93 civic radiator that fit rather well. All I had to do was move over the top mount to the middle more and it was really snug. Oh and the connector for the fan was the same as the civic so it plugged right in.
