When this car came in I first that that it was being towed behind a motorhome and the driver didn't realize that the vehicle being towed got a flat. Turns out this lady heard a "noise" but kept driving for miles and miles before stopping in to check out the problem. It actually started wearing through the knuckle. The problem was caused when the brake lining came apart and locked up the wheel.

    I've pulled over because I could tell I had loose lugnuts on a wheel.... let alone a wheel missing. That's the difference between a driver, and someone that just drives. (Or a man vs a woman :eek:)

    She's going to need a new rim. I got behind a guy one time whose catalytic converter was glowing red, lighting up the road under his car. I don't know if he made it home or not. He was in my rearview mirror the last time I saw him.

    That goes to show the very low perceptual intelligence our human race still has hanging on in the human DNA chain.

    The man in the truck with the catalitic converter going into FUSION state could've been a relative of hers..LOL
