OT: 88 wheels: the sequel

[brian_wagner at sbcglobal.net (Brian Wagner)]

Cathy,
 
I am actually going to get header wrap to wrap my down pipe this weekend, to try and keep the shifter bushings from melt. But I live in Texas with a bit more heat than you most of the year.

Now, you may be wondering, what is the opposite of a small white car (say an 
88 Cabby) with a wheel that won't come off?


Well, that would be a really big black vehicle (say, for example, my 88 Ford 
half ton) with a wheel that comes off all by itself. Okay, I'm an idiot, I 
made the (obviously wrongful) assumption that the school shop would actually 
torque the wheels tight after they had them off. Well, my bad for not 
checking, and now the one wheel is totally screwed (a nice set of Cragars I 
might add). SO tell me, do I attract every incompetant boob in the world or 
what?

Scirocco content: The jury's still out on whether the removal of the heat 
shield will cause my death, the first hot steamy run in the car smelled a 
bit hot, but that may be just from undercoating I disrupted. SO I'll drive 
it a few more times before deciding how to put the thing back in there 
without dropping the whole exhaust.

Anyway, off to work, oh joy.
Cathy
