probably nothing any more complicated than fogetfulness. looks like someone changed to race wheels and forgot to torque them down for whatever reason.

WOW Live under a rock?

Congratulations. It will never die!

Just kidding and no flames, but you deserve to know... Beginning in early June there were literally 5 or 6 threads per day started about this video. At one point the count was over 50, and maybe well over hundred reposts by now. It could be the most reposted subject in the history of the forum. It got so bad one of the mods was going to make it a "sticky" thread.

Not only that but every video site is hosting a copy of the vid, and it's been posted in 90% of the automobile/truck/motorcycle forums, newsgroups and mail lists on the Internet. It was even mentioned in Autoweek.

The mods merged several of the RX-7 Club forum threads into one. Read it and find out the details including why the wheels fell off, (wrong size nuts). We still don't know for sure why he pulled the handbrake before getting out, as if the car was going to roll away.

Have to differ on the most posted subject....
https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/performance-help-701613/

Didnt know that video was old... Was the 1st I've seen it. I'll make sure to search next time. I know reposts really irritate some people. To the point where there is excessive Icon usage, and detailed write ups along with bold lettering and way to much detail. No flames or anything...

It's a microcosm of DASD on a huge server...

Relax.... chill.....
