That happened to me once. I used up about half a dozen wheel studs and lugs, a hub, and ended up having to replace the tire wheel too!! While I was driving on a loose wheel the wobble of the wheel made the holes reem out and the lugs couldnt hold the wheel on tight enough anymore.

Im glad to hear you and your family made it safely to where yall were going though. I hate s**t heads like that. And on Christmas too. :scold:
