Oh and this one is pretty funny too, this guy runs himself over! Er... you will have to watch it to understand.

description says wrong lug nuts or untightened lug nuts. i would feel like an idiot. but better there than on the highway or something.

Looks like the wrong lug nuts, don't know why ALL of them wouldn't be tight enough. As for the second one, it sucks but it is the guy's own fault.

thats what happened to the AJ-racing blaze orange fit at last years time attack challenge. There is a video clip where he was taking a turn and the wheel goes flying off and someone's like "OH THE WHLEEL CAME OFF, THE WHEEL CAME OFF!"
