T44 Sport seats FS on marketplace. and monkey lad warning.....

[JordanVw at aol.com]

yesterday my mom called me up and said "my car's running rough, something 
with the rear wheel"  (she has a '86 5k NA)   i go over to check it out last 
night and kicked the left rear wheel and it flopped around...the damn thing 
was about ready to fall off...these are the 15" BBS's (4x108 from a '89 100q) 
i just refinished and installed on her car with brand new tires last month..  
 she just had a PA state inspection on mon and they pulled the LR wheel and 
must have just put the lugs on finger tight and forgot about torquing them 
down and just slapped the center cap on...  one of the 4 lugs was just 
sitting loose in the hole, up against the cap, and the other 3 were almost 
out..     i pulled them all out to check the threads..luckily no damage..     
could have been disasterous if she's had lost the wheel on the turnpike at 
75mph..
always check your lugnuts after a shop messes with your car!
