Well the wheels didn’t really fall of as much as they were forcibly torn off. I had a 1972 Toyota Celica as a first car that I lowered and built the motor and put some BF Goodrich TA50’s on and I drank a LOT as a teen. I tried to take a 20 mph corner at 50 on my way home from a kegger and the tires stuck but the car flipped and hit a tree on the passenger side then fell straight down. There was a steep bank at that corner so it fell 20 feet onto its roof. I welded a front clip onto it and didn’t even get it painted before I took some quaaludes and drank a bunch and rolled it again going down the mountain we lived on, landed upside down next to somebody’s front door. I remember them storming out the door asking if I was ok and I couldn’t remember why I was at their door. They pointed to my car and I turned around. The tires were still spinning. I gave up on that car.I was doing about a 100 in the 4runner in the rain, slid off of a offramp, thought I was all clear to go into the grass after missing a light pole, low and behold there was a culvert reinforced with bricks hidden in the grass, hit that and flipped front end over end, landed upside down. subwoofer box I had in back luckily went out the back hatch glass. I walked away without even a scratch. it sat in my backyard for almost 2 years I was going to cut the top off and make it into something..but lost interest and sold it to the scrap yard it was a good truck I planned on keeping it till the wheels fell off which I kind of sorta did.
