Wow, what some people do these days. It's ridiculous, but at least they didn't get away with it. My unfortunate neighbor had ONE wheel stolen off of her expedition in the middle of the day when she was home with her kids last week...thank god I have a garage.

Well, finally got it all fixed. Bought a wheel hub bolt from Reed Nissan ($2) and had it put on at some other place (Reed Nissan refuses to work on Infiniti vehicles - go figure). Still pissed off that my rear wheel is scratched up, but I can live with that. I'll fix it eventually.

Thanks Dan/SFLG35 for giving me that part number. I'm glad I didn't have to replace the whole wheel hub ($400 )

rrpnow, had I caught that guy, I would have put him in a Kimura lock until his arm popped off. I used to train with Marcio Simas/Gracie Barra Orlando. Reached blue belt. You train over there in Tampa? Judo or Jiu Jitsu?

Sean, here's a quick update...

1. Finiti has passed your and Wes' post count.
2. Drewzer is angry with Austin.
3. Neffster is still super cool.
4. Ian is really 'dabomb' and Wes is just posing...

and 5. (now don't pass out...) Wes updated the Website and it looks much better!

Sorry to hear about what happened, G35Kidd. Glad you didn't get hurt and that you caught the problem early. I was driving around for a good day without even realizing that only one wheel lock was holding my wheel to my car. I can only imagine what would have happened if it came off. I'll never take wheel locks for granted.

I still don't have wheel locks. Come Monday, hopefully I'll have my springs on with the wheel locks.

My wife had her FX35 broken into a few weeks ago. They smashed out the back driver's side window and stole her purse and her freind's purse. They only got about $20 bucks in cash and a $40 dollar purse, but it ended up costing us a lot of time and money. Hours on the phone cancelling credit cards and bank accounts, filing police reports, hangin out at the DMV for a new license, and having to visit Lokey for a new window, which cost $463.

It's to the point where you wish they'd just come up and say "look, I'm planning on screwing up you stuff. Would you give me $20 to just go away?"

Sorry to hear about your wheels!
