Gotta be staged IMO!

How do ALL 4 wheels, ALL lugs (5 per wheel) come off at the same time?

Hmmmm.......

Entertaining though

Ouch! That was really painful to watch. Especially since it was a nice car too.

Looks like the bolts broke off.

it seems too random & unlikely to happen that way, but then again - who would actually ok "staging" that?? In a clean looking 7, no less. I could see it being staged if it were a crossfire . . .

I wonder how much of the suspension and underside of the car is damage. Surely his exhaust system is done for.
