One of the Jr DFs actually lost a wheel at 75 mph after having work done on his car by a shop. Someone forgot to torque the lug nuts down. He made it to the median and safely out of the car but what a scare for him. I always double check my own work and what ever I pay to have done.

Wow! That would surely be a check your shorts moment. Glad he made it out unscathed.

People think I'm ridiculous when I stand at the end of the service bay at Discount Tire and watch the tech(s) torque down each lug nut after they rotate the tires on my truck.

Wife's Nissan Pathfinder required the in tank fuel pump be replaced. The Nissan dealership replaced the pump but when re-installing the tank, did not re-install the filler neck onto the tank. Wife stopped on the way home to fuel up and dumped maybe three gallons of gas onto the hot exhaust system of the vehicle before fuel flowed out from under the vehicle and she stopped pumping. I took it back to the dealership, got the general manager in an office and chewed him a new one, after which I told him I was contacting my attorney. Though I was never happy with that vehicle or the dealership, we ended up with free service and detailing for the remainder of the time we owned the vehicle. In hindsight, I should have taken them to court instead.
