A different kind of kill story......
Hey at least it held that long....
I was in a hurry and lazy one day so instead of doing an oil change myself I brough it in. While it was there I got them to rotate the tires as the rears had flat spots due to possible excessive use of the e-brake lever. Anyways, a couple days of not driving the car later, and I left home to go back to school 12 hours away. Apparently I had brought my car in right before coffee time however, as the guy tightened all but 3 bolts on the front-drivers side tire. About an hour into the drive the wheel finally let loose and went flying off the highway, leaving us to stop spewing sparks from the rotor the car was now riding on. At least we didn't crash... and I didn't end up having to pay for anything.
