View Full Version : Coming Home From Long Island,
PanterA

All right so I'm coming home tonight from long island, the whole ride I can feel the car rumbling. I don't think much of it and just keep going. I run into a bit of traffic due to an accident. So now as I'm in the stop and go traffic and I can hear loud and unusual thumping which what I thought was coming from the front tires. I prayed to God to just let me get home and I'll get the car taken care of tomorrow. Well God must have known I was lying cause when I got on the cross island parkway about 3 exits from my house when my fucking rear driver side wheel goes flying off! At first I thought I got hit by a car but then I see my rear wheel speed past me and I look in my rearview mirror and sparks shooting out behind me. Luckily I was able to get to the emergency lane without killing myself or anyone else for that matter. I almost shit a brick when it happened but I'm fine. I was also lucky that a flat bed patrols the parkway and was able to get me home with my car for $97 of course. The funny part is that the tow truck driver was a little Asian man...with a Jamaican accent! That was weird.
So now I have no car, no money, and in a real shitty mood.

Damn Bobby, glad to hear that you are ok though this ordeal. That is one of my biggest fears since I need my car to work and am constantly in major traffic delays and on the regions wonderful highways. I'll be working on Long Island all of the day tomorrow and praying I don't experience the same fate.

Does someone not like you? That story has all the trademarks of someone who is really pissed off taking the lugnuts off your wheels.

Yet another PanterA thread where I must say...
Hey, at least you're still alive!
BE MORE CAREFUL MISTER!
If you keep it up, soon you'll be telling us the story of how you died.
...assuming there's internet access in Hell.

yeah, I'm still alive although I thought the car was going to burst into flames when I saw the sparks flying. Right now I wish it did so I can make some insurance money out of this.

this happened to me once, the reason being a tire rotation and lug nuts being OVER tightened. they basically popped off, and then my wheel fell off.
I got the garage that fucked up to pay for everything though.

And then your girlfriend leaves you, and your friend Russle Ziskey comes over, and you both decide to join the Army...

I know how you feel Bobby. I used to work for a Limo company and as I was on my way home I was on the Garden State Parkway North at exit 145 (Newark) when I noticed the rumbling from my rear wheels went from bad to worse. I pulled over into the shoulder and when i got out and checked the driver side rear tire was SHREDDED! I was riding on a rim at about 50 mph.
I had to change the tire (thank GOD there was a spare).
And all this happened at 2:30 in the AM.
If I started to fishtail it would have been all over for me.
Guess God looked out for both of us.

"What did he want???"
"What do all men want Phillip?"
"He wants you to dress up like Wonder Woman, tie him up with your golden lariat and force him to tell the truth?????"
I can kind of relate to how you felt. When I was in college, I was driving up 95 to CT. I just got into the Fort McHenry tunnel in Baltimore when the car in front of me lost a piece of trim that speared my tire causing it to blow out. That scared the shit out of me -- not knowing why I was suddenly losing control, and praying that I don't hit anyone.
Then I had to slap on a donut in the middle of the tunnel. Fortunately a state trooper came up behind me to protect me from getting killed by the oncoming traffic.
Good times.

The same thing happened to me once but I managed to pull over just before the wheel fell off.
2 days prior I had my stoner mechanic friend replace my brake pads. I managed to get the car to his house, and he was all like "oh, my bad, I only tightened one of the lug nuts on each wheel all the way".

When I worked for one of the radio stations in NYC, the "competition" decided it would be funny to loosen the lugnuts on the station van.

i thought the thumping was a body in the trunk.

See I told you Katylina was a bit crazy and not to piss her off. J/K of course

Lugnuts damn? I caught shit when a competing radio station brought their van over to borrow some PA equipment for a remote and when they were inside talking I was outside seeing how many of our station bumber stickers could fit on their van. Neither station was amused.
