Last Sunday I did a rear suspention llift on my Beetle, I was so eager to go for a test drive, I forgot to toghten the one wheel, I suddenly had this vibration, then she dropped and the wheel came rolling past me and ended up in the dam, fortunatly it happen very close to home so I had it sorted in no time.

I hope the wheel didn't cause any bodywork damage when it came off.

Happened to me twice, when I had my rims epoxyed and forgot to remove the epoxy in the bolt recesses.
