i was changing a wheel and the lil thread head that holds the wheel to the car bent out of shape and broke off. now im curious as to how to fix this. i have one less bolt that i can tighten on the wheel to the axle. how much of a 'doh' situation is this? am i royally screewed? lol

Wheel studs are fairly easily changed, but if your not mechanically minded, best to get a mechanic to do it. Shouldn't cost more than $50 fitted. You should be safe to drive on 4 but I would recomend fixing this sooner rather than later.

The car is still safe to drive, if that's what you're wondering, but as murph03 said, get it sorted soon.
