like last event... dolts.

Well, we were in such a hurry, I thought you had tightened the wheel
since you had put it on the front, I installed the rear wheel. I should
of checked the torque but again, we were extremely rushed to get back out
there to get our runs in. My tranny only carries 2.1 quarts of oil, I
didn't think it would of kept them cleaning it up for very long. 
Lesson learned, next time, change your own wheels. (I mean that in a good
way...!)

For YOU! Twas only the beginning for me. Julie said we were making
memories. In a way, yeah it was kinda cool how everybody wanted to help
me. (Except for the people who only wanted to see carnage on a VW. Screw
then guys.) 
I was a little too busy being pissed about my ( less than 2 yrs old)
recently rebuilt "Reliable", "Trusty", "bulletproof" tranny to appreciate
it at the time. Ahh memories.... don't wanna do it again anytime soon.
