i knew this guy who drove this total heap. it was an 80s VW Vanagon that had not been maintained for a decade. nobody ever wanted to ride in it because it had ants.
so here we are, year of our lord 200x, and the guy is coming home. coasting to a stop at a red light where 4 lanes cross 4 lanes (two big highways).
clunk, he slows rapidly from 25 mph to zero as his driver's side front wheel has popped off rolling forward.
he's just sitting there grimacing as this rogue wheel rolls casually through busy traffic--where thank god it doesn't hit anyone or cause an accident--before it hits the curb, pops up several feet in the air, and lands on the windshield of a new Corvette at a car dealership.
