Let me tell ya when the lugs are loose, you get some really weird *** sounds... Ive been in someones car when the wheel fell off at 25ish mph while the guy was trying to limp it home to check it out, it was pretty fun really

i had a wheel come off my car just barely rolling out after a light turned green 
i thought the car hit a pothole... i come out and look and go wtf
the lugs snapped off...
it was funny seeing the tire smashed up into the fender.. looked like the car was slammed

i sold my boosted 99 civic to some asshat last year and told him to be carefull on his ride home because it was a 4 hour drive, warned him about 5th gear pulls in boost and said don't use anything less then 91 octane. after takign his cashiers check and giving him the keys i told him that it is know his car and if it breaks it is his. he called about a month later sayign that he thinks the turbo is blown because it is making a knocking noise and smoking, lol. i asked him if he messed with the boost at all and he said that a "friend" of his worked on it to make it faster then he raced some guy and afterwards it started smoking "but it was fast as hell" :1. so he thought it was the turbo, i had to inform him that it was probly a rod making that sweet knocking sound and he should take the head off and check it out. guess his friend raised the boost from 10psi to around 18, lol.

15? You made a deal with a minor. If he takes it to court he will get all the money back.... I know because i did it to someone.
Bought an eclipse when i was 15....first car. Guy striaght up robbed me and this is when i actually worked for my money. I was driving it home - he told me i'd be fine blah blah blahhh i've known your brother for years.... The head gasket blew on the way home.... I think i got everything but 100bucks back... not too bad.
