Check Your Lug Nuts!

Hi Paul and Caroline,
In your September-October magazine there was an article about tires with a little side note reminding everyone to "tighten your lug nuts!"  In June we were on our way to Arroyo Grande in our 1957 Arrowhead.  About a mile from our destination, we heard what could only be described as a noise that screams "something is dreadfully wrong!"  Upon inspection, this is how we found our rim.  We live in Brea, so who knows how long we'd been towing our trailer with at lease one lose lug nut, which turned into two missing lugs with the other three ready to go.  We were lucky.  I get chills even thinking about the disaster that could have been.
The moral of this story is; Don't let this happen to you, 

​ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LUG NUTS!!
Whew!
Jeff and Nanci Hill
