So today I was just driving to meet my girlfriend. Everything was going good. Slowed down to take a turn at about 10 mph and all I see is my tire rolling into the SUV stopped at the light. Get out, see the huge gouge I left in the road and realize my lug nut studs got completely sheared off somehow. Worst part is that it banged up my fender pretty bad. Will maybe try to get pictures some time soon.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did them properly. Everyone that was there said they had never seen it happen before. Not the first time I've had problems though. Same side I had a wheel bearing go out and ended snapping that axle. Other side I've had a wheel bearing go out. I just don't know if I am having bad luck with my car or what.
