you guize.. I'm serious.. I think FJ is ded..
I think you guys got him started on that Arizona migration bullshit
He probably got depressed and drank every craft brew in the pantry

Went on a spirit quest.. an out of body experience.. probably in a NK coma
Or he hit the abort button on suburb life.. took off in the CTS-Vwagon..
Abandoned that bitch about 10 miles in..

Sucking some shaman's dick right now for peyote

I'm all about torque specs.. but as always.. you're being too anal.

Have you considered that torque wrenches, especially overused ones, often aren't calibrated correctly

Be that as it may, should you just knowingly overtorque?

Most shops I know hit it with an impact gun.. they usually star pattern it.. but they really don't give a shit about torque spec

Both Costco and the indie alignment shop I go to star pattern impact gun and then double check with impact wrench after car is lowered (loaded). Then they suggest you check again with a wrench after 25 miles of driving to ensure it's still in spec.

The V is very difficult to find specs on..
and I'm not about to spend several hundreds on a service manual that might not even be that good to begin with..

So I cross check ZL1, ZR1, even Vette forums..
As long as I can find numbers close enough between the platforms..
I'm like.. close enough.. #mylugnutshavemoretorquethanyohonda

There was a member here whose wheel fell off on the freeway in Houston
Tire shop didn't star pattern his shit..

Yeah, if you have a shop do your shit.. always double check that shit at home.

I do 140 on the V...
I can't recall if my ADD kicked in last month...but one wheel I was like, hmmm...the shadow those lug nuts are casting look taller...so I checked...
on 2 were semi tight and next to each other...3 had backed out...
I was like, did I just plain forget did someone try to steal the rims (although one would have been inaccessible due to a wall)...
glad it wasn't a car I go fast in at least.

speaking of which...
I may or may not have inadvertently done the tail of the dragon in a minivan with 3 kids and a gf on my way to Tennessee

I ran the wiring in the roof of my first car, a taurus wagon...
to 2 bazookas...
I used to pedal e-brake in the rain before drifting was a thing and I remember once I did it with my buddy and in a freak
incident the hatch opened, dropped one bazooka and closed as I spun around. We were like, did red alert just get less bass?
look in rearview and see it in the middle of the road...

LOL...ironically there are only fights about who gets to sit next to Z when I have her.
Other than that, middle kid likes 3rd row to lay down, other two split 2nd row captain's chairs and kick the back of my driver's seat almost the entire way.
