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.

Alright, so I may just need to take care of it more. It sucks, but I guess everything is a learning experience. The part that upset me the most is how the fender now sits. My door only opens about 1/3 of the way. All in all I was happy it happened when it did. Could of been much worse if I was on the highway at 70 and my tire just decided to come off.
