So last night I am chillin in my car going down 75 coming back from the bar. And I am feeling this vibration when I let off the throttle which I perceive to be the busted ass cv joint (which is not really characteristic of a cv joint to click when going straight but I feel it from the front right where I know the joint is bad so I assume it is) anyways as I am proceeding down 75 doing about a 110 on a fairly empty highway and my front left wheel just falls off. It tore every single lug either off or out and proceeded to roll the fuck away from me and jump over the median into oncoming traffic, as I slid all over the place. So I slide about ¾ of a mile (because my brakes no longer worked) onto Royal Ln. Anyways that was my drama for the night and probably the next couple weeks to come. I think it’s the “Karma police” those fucking bastards. LOL

sadly.. happened to me in my 00 prelude
(dont trust friends to tighten up wheel)

i was only going about 30mph..
car started shaking..so i slowed down, it went away, then started to shake again and the next thing i know my damn front driver side wheel is rolling the fawk away from me...

after all said and done, my front lip was scratched to hell and my drivers side fender got bent/warped (had to replace)
oh, and 3 out of 5 lugs snapped off (had to get them drilled out and get new studs put in)

what a pita... sorry to hear, but it happens

No kidding. Did Discount tire do your rotation. I had my shit get loose. Luckily I stopped in time to tighten my shit back up.
