The thing that is odd to me is that ALL of the lug bolts came out at or very close to the same time. Keep in mind that he had driven 100 miles by this point and he would have noticed vibration. When he noticed vibration he went to go pull over and then his wheel fell off.

Taylor isn't stupid, he would have noticed wheel wobble. It happened so fast on his car that I really don't know what happened

Exactly, and somebody trying to pin the blame on Taylor does not help the situation.

He's not just a car guy, or something who likes Volvos. He loves them and is dedicated, somebody dedicated does not take undue risk.

Pin blame? It's what makes the most sense at the moment. What else can we say about the situation with the little tiny description he gave us?

We need a better description and maybe even some pictures to draw better/different conclusions as to what happened with regards to the car you know. :rolleyes:

well I've had the entire situation described to me directly from Taylor's mouth. To me it sounds like something failed horribly. I just don't understand how ALL of his lug bolts came out at once....

At least this wasn't a post about how "vandals" took a sledgehammer to a perfect car, yet miraculously left all the valuable modifications in mint condition.

:lol:

Shit I forgot to tighten lugs once and got 30 min away and the wheel fell off.

But I will tell you that vibrated like a bitch for a good 10+ min if not more

I'd say either the lug bolts were shitty or already cracked or something or the wheels that he was using were non hubcentric and he hit a bump/pothole or something snapped a lugbolt or two then shit went down...

i dunno, but we need pictures.

Alright sorry for the delay, the time when I felt the wobble and when the wheel came off was 5 seconds. I heard it, Went "Oh shiiit" as i started to get over asap. By the middle lane it fell off. I have no idea what caused it. Amazingly From what we determined today, its alright. I'm going to have it inspected just to make sure something my dad or I have missed is broken. Only damage caused that I know of right now, is a ripped and bent Quarter panel (Cant see that in the pictures), and some paint missing from the bumper and the Quarter panel. I'd consider myself the luckiest person right now considering im fine and the car seems to be also.

Best of all, Now i have reason to sand down my wheels and repaint them.
