I drove it normal, and occasionally I would be stupid and mess around. Just make sure they're torqued at the correct numbers. You'll be fine.

yes, but you still only have 3 lugs holding the wheel on in both situations! :doh:

Basically.
If it makes you feel better, at least you haven't been walking for four months.
