On a couple side notes, I only go to one tire shop that I trust cuz my brother used to work there, and even then I take the wheels off the car and bring them the wheels instead of letting them have the car and worrying about them messing something up. I hate anyone else handling my car.

The other thing, I know most of the internet shorthand but what does FML stand for?

That sucks big time! I can picture you running for the wheel though
How can a tire shop, forget to tighten nuts? Its something I assume, do daily

I always thought FML stood for "for my loss" at least that's how I use it

damn at 1st i thought you were aired down. but then i thought your balljoints gave out. and now i guess your wheel fell off.. LOL make sure they check out your balljoints since it fell on the floor like that it could have caused great damage to them. GL with the fix. plus which shop was this? name location?
