| hello,
| I discovered the obvious today, and I'm sure that I'm not the first.
| Only, I discovered the hard way!
| Retorque or at least check your wheel lug nuts after putting on
| wheels!!!
|
| I was driving in the slow lane at about 60 on the freeway,when all of
| a sudden my handling felt funny, the rear end was very "sloppy".
| In a heartbeat the rear end was gone, and I lost conrol of the car.
| Next thing I know I'm spinning and involved in a collision at speed
| with another car. Not sure if I hit him or he hit me, but collide we
| did.
| As I am spinning, all I could think of was the imminent sudden death
| that lay before me. My drivers side rear wheel was gone!!!
| The center freeway barrier was a welcome sight, as I knew it would
| stop me and I had a chance.
| I got out of the car very happy to be alive.
| THANK GOD, no one was hurt, but the car was pretty damaged. I think it
| is a "parts car" now.
| I spun around and crossed 4 lanes and am alive to tell you about it.
| take care of yourselves, your loved ones, your children, your cars.
| Oh, and tighten those lugs, BTW, a 30 year old sportscar make sure
| everything is tight!
