    I'm trying to understand what actually happened in mechanical terms.


    When you say "the tire" fell to the floor, I assume you mean the wheel, with the tire still on it.  Was there anything else attached to the wheel when it fell?  Like are you suggesting all 5 lug nuts snapped simultaneously so nothing was holding the wheel onto the hub?  

     

    How old was the car and what percentage of it was composed of rust? 

     

    :lol:

     

    The control arm broke. And yes, the wheel, so correction on that.

     

    But, yea, I should have junked the thing a long time ago. I get sentimental with my cars. I like my Black Bomber.

  2. Last week I hit a left turn a little too hard and heard a bad noise. 5 seconds later my car started swerving. There was a service garage 10 feet ahead of me so I pulled it in. They put it in the air and one of the tires fell right to the floor. If I had driven it 10 more feet and that wheel fell I'm pretty sure my whole whip would have been totaled as even more stuff would have broke. Was I ever lucky that shop was right there.
