Earlier in the year I was taking a road trip to see a friend in TN. Traffic was sparse on the highway and the speed limit was 70mph. A minivan in front of me started driving sporadically and turned on their hazards. There was a shower of sparks as their driver side wheel ejected itself across the lanes into a brand new BMW SUV.
This was the second time in my life I had witnessed a minivan wheel in its first moments of high-speed freedom.
