My rim fell of while making a bend today. LOL

I was comming back from getting my alarm fixed and was headed to my friends garage to check my rotor cause it was scored majorly and the wheel was vibrating really bad. i just thought it had something to do with the brake or rotor. here, i'm 3 blocks away from his garage, make a right hand turn and all of a sudden my car just drops and i see my front driver side tire rolling across the street. there was a few cop cars across the street behind me to, so they came over right away. my fender got crushed. it's like when the wheel first fell off and the car dropped, it dropped on the wheel and crushed the fender. it happend so fast, yet seemed like it was in slow motion. i was just stareing straight ahead and was too embarrassed to get out the car. my tire rolled a half block down the street behind me. my girl was with me to. the police call a tow truck. i told them where i was going and how i can just get him to tow me the 3 blocks. here, i run down to get my friend but he wasn't there right then and there, come back, and the tow truck driver was putting my donut on. he charged me $20 for that, and it wasn't even on all the way cause i only had 1 bolt left on my rotor. my friend came 2 mins later and towed me. talk about having a bad month with this car. i'm guess i'm lucky i wasn't really going fast, nor what could have happened, happened. it was something like you see on tv.

Seems like you're having a bunch of bad luck, camaro 22... you should buy some kind of old Blazer with big tires and massive suspension. Not only would it be more durable, but people would be afraid to mess with you
