That wheel had to be be making a horrible noise the driver just ignored.
Only when turning left funnily enough. We were young and dumb, I told him his wheel bearing was likely failing at lunch the same day it fell off lol.

It’s astonishing the level of unawareness many people have.
I’v Given up.
“You didn’t hear that?”
“Um... no”
“You did feel that?”
“Um...no.”
“You didn’t see the smoke?”
“Um, I thought it wasn’t a big deal.”
“YOUR FKN CAR BLEW UP!”
“Yeah. I really loved that car.”

Just because someone has the right to post something doesn't mean it isn't rude, offensive, or in poor taste. Rights and common courtesy are not mutually exclusive.

There is a difference between a request and a demand.

One of the parts stores that I worked at (3 years, 3 different stores for the same company) had a guy stop his caddy by running into the wall. The room where the brake lathe lived had a section of wall the size and shape of the front end of a caddy pushed in about 6".
