nick im really glad that you brought that up...

ok so thanksgiving night... i driving home from my aunts home which is roughly a 40 minute drive so on my way home on route 81 a major highway and a lot of vibration was happening so i pull off the highway to take back roads and the vibration is getting worse every minute so im about 10 minutes from home and all of the sudden my driver front wheel flys off the car and bouncing into the darkness. the car dropped down onto the rotor and i slowed down all the way and safely pulled off the side of the road and got out and jacked up the car to get it off of the rotor so in the meantime i go and try to find my wheel which ended up being 1000 feet into a field. so i get it back on by taking 1 lug off each other wheel so i have 4 on each other and 3 on the driver front. ended up getting the car towed back to my house and its getting towed again today to the body shop and lets hope that insurance pays for the entire thing!

I had that happen awhile back but I noticed the bad shaking so pulled over and saw the wheel sitting side ways. I gotta ask tho if you felt it that bad why did you keep driving? Clearly something was wrong!
