Anyway... remember me saying this car was bad luck?











WTF?!?! right? well this morning i decided to drive the DB to work, and half way down the street i hear *thump *thump *thump *BOOOM!!! and the car hits the ground and i see my wheel roll down the road. FCK!!! either i didnt tighten the wheels enough or i didnt tighten the wheels enough. SOB! so at the time i only had 15min to get to work so i couldnt deal with it then. Luckily, my awesome brother in law came to the rescue. I went to work and he fixed it and put the DB back into the garage. though i was only going 8-10mph i hope i didnt damage anything too bad. Bad luck or im just a dumbazz.

Yes im an idiot. From now on ill use the torque wrench.

Anyway, so i took off my fcked up fender. looked over the damage and it looks like i only bent my rotor guard thingy that sits behind the rotor. did a lil damage to the Rotor itself but no cracks or bends or anything. LCA's look fine. kinda glad my car was lowerd cuz if the wheel would have poped off at stock height there might have been more damage. lol

current pics. :facepalm: stupid hurts





wheels dont look too bad. im forsure getting some thinner tires and i might have found a replacement fender too.

Well its a good thing you didnt get on a highway with loose lugs. Glad you're, and hope you find a replacement fender of the same color ;)
