    i'm afraid the amount of money in gas it would take to drive 12 hours would equivalate me buying an a-series out of a salvage yard and rebuilding it.

    where do you live?

    Re: Project Bumblebee: 88 lx sedan

    I've got some bad news guys.. tried to tow her home from my dads shop today.

    i forgot that about 6 months ago when my buddy swapped rims, he didn't tighten the lugs all the way.. like i said i didn't even think about it.

    this happened.

    Re: Project Bumblebee: 88 lx sedan

    when the wheel came off it took one stud with it.

    after we found the wheel and TWO of the lugs, we jacked up the car and put the spare on the 3 studs left, (as you may be able to see in the picture, the tire that came off was bald on the inner side. NEGATIVE CAMBER FTW) so like i said we threw on the full size spare and got one lug on decently and went to tighten the other one. it snapped the other stud off. so we limped the car to a local abandoned gas station(with one lug on it and only two out of four studs) and left it

    until i find a trailer..

    Well OK, you fucked up some. But the good news is that you're young and willing to plunge right in. By starting at 15, you have all sorts of time to figure stuff out. By the time you're 20, you'll be ahead of most people mechanically.

    Everybody makes mistakes. The stupid ones are the ones that either don't try because they're afraid to fail, or are stubborn and don't learn from their errors.

    Go for it.
