My wife's aunt and uncle drove down from the UP of MI (900 mile trip) in a 15 year old Buick with a bad wheel bearings on one wheel.

My wife's uncle is notoriously cheap--even though he is loaded. He only buys things that are a "good deal". Problem is, most of the stuff he buys (cars, boats, houses) are a "good deal" because they are in extreme disrepair.

The bad wheel bearing was on the rear-left wheel. It had about a half-inch of play side to side (on a non-steering wheel!!!). I let him know that there was a chance that wheel would come off on the trip home. He drove the family home without fixing it.
