A couple of years back a guy came racing around me on the freeway in a baby blue mid '70s Pinto wagon, it looked in pretty good shape. I was the rubber necker there and just as he passed and got up a ways he popped a tire.......... .............. ...LOL, at least for a fractional second........ ......in the next, the heavy wirewheel looking hubcap came loose (uh oh!) and vaulted high in the air where the wind caught it and I spent the rest of the time watching it fall towards me while taking evasive action. Man that cover went at least fifty feet up. Looking in traffic behind me swerving all over the same way I saw the cover crash down on empty space thankfully. Needless to say I thought more about the driver than the car after that, as is why the ?$!(!!? did you !?@%!!?.............. ....I gave a seconds' thought to going back and offering to buy the now stranded car, maybe he was disgusted with it, you never know. But the almost getting sashed by the wheel cover did for me and I could only think 'you idiot' all the way home.
