Wheel came off while rolling

This is what happens when you have your head up your butt and you don't tighten your lug nuts all the way. Grateful no one was hurt and the main damage was to the rotor.

Gee Wally what are you gonna tell dad?

...and the left rear tire falls off. It falls off. It falls... the ****... off.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Luckily no one was hurt.
You end up finding the wheel?

Yes, I watched it pass me and go between two vehicles, jump a curb and came to a stop after hitting a chain link fence. Found all 6 lug nuts as well. Back up and running the next day.

Yikes! I assume you had to replace the rotor?

Wow, you're lucky it didn't wedge itself inside the wheel well and cause somebody damage. Glad nobody got hurt, I sure it was a sphincter tightener

Yep!

Extremely tight. My "Angels" were watching over me.

Had this happen in my early days of driving on an S-10, not a good feeling at all and I also learned the lesson of rechecking lugs.
