Default Kumho Ecsta Mx's.....

Just got my Mx's. Love how they look, lov how they feel, love how they smell, rrrreeeeeeaaaalllllllllly love how N-T-****ing-B put one on backwards. They do stick like glue, and the ride comfort is good considering that it's a max performance tire. Check this crap out though: So, I get my Mx's, take them over to the NTB **** smooches, and pray everything turns out okay. About a hour later the guy says the car is ready to go. Everything looks good, I back out and drive off. Here's where it gets interesting. About three miles from the store my wheel is vibrating so f'n bad I think I'm going to carreen off this cliff I'm driving next to. Wonder****ingful I'm thinking. They very next second POP, BANG, BANG. What the ****?! The car starts chirping like a ****ing canary, every ******* on the road is looking at me, and there is a horrible vibration through the floor board. Reeaall nice right? I pull off, and take off my right side lug cap. (By the way this is on a 2001.5 QMSC). TWO OF THE LUGS FALL OUT ONTO THE ROAD AND A THIRD ONE IS LOOSE!! At this point I don't know whether to get my FNFAL 308 and go Bubba hunting back at NTB or just callthe dealer. Long story even longer, by the time I get the dealer out there to rescue me in the 104+ degree heat, I have completely sweated through my suit, and look like a sweaty madman. The dealer guy ends up giving me new lugs because he felt sorry for me, I thank him and I am on my way. I get home and look at my Kumho Ecsta D-I-R-E-C-T-I-O-N-A-L tires and they are all on the wrong way. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
