Over torquing is never good...

This squirrel would have to agree.

What's the difference between BEER nuts and DEER nuts?
Beer nuts are $3.99 per pound, and deer nuts are under a BUCK
-
Yeah, this thread has gone nuts. Enjoy.
I've been driving for a long time, and never had an issue with loose lug "things".
The fact is that a slingshot is not a reliable ride. I've had my angle drive, sprocket, belt, axle, bearings, blah, replaced under warranty. Swing arm is next. That should cover everything in the rear, except for rims.
I love my wife to bits, but never check the lug "things" on her car. Dunno the technology, but crap like that is no longer frequent (not for 40 years), except in a slingshot. I change tires, rotate tires, fix brakes. Torque down to what feels right. Never, ever had a problem with loose lugs. Zero.
@MACAWS, don't blame yourself.

I have never had a that problem either, of course on the SS I am always the one changing the tires. Most times I loosen and retighten the lug nuts on the other cars after a visit to the tire store. Have you ever tried to take a flat tire off after it has been over torqued with a impact wrench on the side of the hi-way with the wrench that may have been provided with the car?
-
Tire monkeys with an impact wrench are a curse upon mankind. That's why all the cars in my stable pack one of these:
I am not as strong as I used to be, but I am fatter than I used to be. If you can get it to catch on the lug "thing", you can jump on it with extreme prejudice. The lug "thing" will always yield to my will.

Hey guys lets give credit where credit is due
I put that wheel on and I tightened the lug nuts - so I therefore am the one who screwed up
Don't ask me how - because I have done it 100 times but it was all on me!

Maybe you lost count and loosened them 100 times, but tightened them up 99 times. It could happen to the best of us

Does that make him a 1%er?

Between me and you, if you had tighten them. They would not have come loose.
