ok my saterday started like this, went to work saturday morn, got off about noonish, came home , wife went to firestone to get her van alinement after having new struts and a new(used) spindle on left side, she told service manager to re check the strut bolts that hold strut to spindle,tie rod castle nut and ball joint bolts fot proper tightness and grease front end, spent 3 hrs there just waiting to get it in( oh by the way its a 93 olds sillotte) went to applebee for dinner, then out to the bar for some cold coorslights, well the van had a vibration at 50-70mph, figure it was the broken belts in steer tires,(she diddnt get them replaced yesterday) so after a few corrslights and a couple of shots, left there to go to another bar,(she dont drink so i dont have to drive) well vibration got worse so i said i would drive, well about 10 miles down the road i heard a loud bang and pulled over, well thats when i saw the left front wheel fall on the ground, (wtf?) got out and found only 2 wheel studs left and 3 broken studs, so now i`m pissed at firestone, called triple a for some road side assistment, well that conversation lasted 20 minutes with my wife on the phone b4 i took over, ended up talking to some asshat in south central florida, WTF? why am i talking to him when i am in ohio? well he can find hubberd ohio and liberty street in hubbard but cant fint liberty ohio, so i dail 911 tell them where i am and ask for a wrecker and a state trooper, well 15 mins. go by and no one around, wtf?call 911 again and says some one is in route ok i say, well 15mins latter state tropper shows up, he talks to me makes sure we are all ok and calls for a wrecker, well 15-20 mins latter wrecker shows up and drags us home,
so 2day i head up to firestones with my wife and talk to the mananger on duty, tell him my wife asked for things to be done and yesterdays mananger hand written them on the work order, well i tell 2days mananger what happened last night and ask him what he is going to do to make it right? he says they will take care of it, so tommorow i have to miss work to b at firestone at 7:00 am (i`ll b there b4 that) have firestone tow the van in replace the wheel hub and whell studs and lug nuts, replace the rim pay for the body damage where tire hit the fender and cracked it pay for the $83.00 tow bill last night and see if he is going to pay for me missing work,
well that was how my night went and it is only going to get worse for them but better for me..
so if any one goes to firestone make sure you check your lugnuts :twak
