I agree with the poster above. If you (and your son!) jacked up the car and removed the wheel, hubby should take you both to dinner! French restaurant!

Good thing you caught this
Yikes..yes, that would have scared the crud out of me. All I thought about was how much $ one of those wheels would have been to replace!!!

Happy to report my car didn't fall off the jack thingy either. I was a bit worried. LOL

Gives new meaning to getting scr**ed, huh?
+1 rep.

I do have to give my husband some credit. He taught me how to do all this stuff so I would be able to do things for myself, long ago. I can change a tire, check my oil, all the basic car type things I need to do.

He also taught me how to use the pressure washer...and clean the air filter on his dirtbike...Hmm...I'm beginning to see a pattern here.....
