MIKE SMITH" data-source="post: 4324430" data-attributes="member: 44552"><p>One Christmas eve, my first since my divorce a couple months earlier, it was warm- around 60 degrees. I decided- prob not going to get many real estate calls today, so I think I will clean up my pick up and wax it. Then I thought, it's been a while since I rotated my tires, so I broke out the impact and floor jack and got after it. Holiday pass by and I'm heading to the office the day after Christmas and something felt weird. I stop and look- one of my back wheels is loose. Dumb A- I missed tighting and didn't double check stuff. Wound up having to get a new wheel- new lugs and the lug cover was missing. There was tire store there and I knew the guy, so I just told him to do whatever it needed and call me. End of the day he had found a wheel and had me going- couple hundred bucks in 2005. Well, I was still missing that cap. I was going down 40 one day and I see the Robinson exit. I think- whip down by some of those hub cab joints and see if they have one. First place had just got in 4 of them wired together- $50. I said I really just need one- he got them down, unwired the bunch and pulled one off and said that will be $25 bucks. I thought, I can have 4 for $50. I just got the one and never lost another one in the time I owned it. Needless to say- I never didn't double-triple check after that. Dumb A</p></blockquote><p></p>
