The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) III

JARblue · 01-05-2013, 10:55 AM

Good morning everyone

Busy day and not enough time to watch football though I will block time out for the Texans game. We're heading over to my parents for lunch to do Christmas gifts with my sister and her husband since they were out of town until recently

and Rudy's BBQ for lunch

Need to wash the Z after rain yesterday, but it's supposed to rain again later this week

Sorry to hear

Why do they need to touch your car to give you a new set of lug nuts?

I would first call them up and either have them pay for a set for you to pick up at their shop or maybe a dealer or just give you cash for the cost to replace.

If they ask you to bring one in to inspect, you can provide it to them by hurling it through one of the windows at their shop

Lug nuts aren't the problem; a friend gave me a bag of extra ones he had. It's the stud that is spinning in the hub now that is the problem.

Ahh... gotcha, that is definitely a problem

I hope you get it taken care of properly

Best - dropped off my wheels today at the wheel shop to be stripped and repainted. I'll get them back next Saturday.

Worst - while swapping rims last night, one of the lugs stripped and is spinning in the hub. The shop that did my brake swap used an air gun to tighten my lug nuts, and in the process rounded at least half of them off and way over-torqued them. One lug nut was cross-threaded and screwed-up the stud.

I didn't realize it until I tried to tighten the lug nut and it just began to spin. Of course, it's a locking lug, but it's just barely on. I'm going to try and get in at the dealer this afternoon to get it removed and replaced.

At this point, I realize I should go back to the shop that screwed-up everything, but I don't want them touching my car. Lesson learned.

Have a good weekend everybody.

Darn shops

I'm really looking forward to seeing your wheels once they're done. Going to look sweet!

Still looking for a deal for the gaming seat.

Good news on the Calendar is I got an e-mail from the printing company last night and the replacement order has been sent out and I should receive the package on Monday..

I have prepared all the envelops, but I might go to Wal Mart tonight to look for some bigger size one..

Will keep your guys updated..!!
