I have not done this; however I have been a victim of this.

A buddy of mine had a 70's Camaro Hot rod, we were always futzing with it.
Anyways we were out one night, and during one of the few periods at which we were not breaking any laws we had a bit of an event. The back of the car started hopping up and down then all of a sudden I'm looking forward at the road; the front bumper hit the ground and then we hit the ground (correct direction) and skidded about 10 feet to a stop. I had NO CLUE what had happened. But he knew exactly what the issue was the, Right rear wheel had come off.


Moral of the story; torque your lugs.

Next time Our story will be. Breaking a weld on the 4 link while backing up at Sonic.
