<VV> Wont make it to Clarks

[Sadek Charles H DLVA]

Glad you are ok, Chris.  Having a wheel/tire come off pre-qualifies you for
Honorary BoHunkBrosRacing Team recognition.  Having the whole d*mn car get
smacked as a result definitely brings you to the top of the list.  There are
others who also are worthy.  Most won't tell on themselves... <VBG>  But we
know who they are....

Sorry about the car.

If you send me your snail mail address off line, we'll send you a T-shirt.
What size?

I unfortunatly won't make it to Clarks tomarrow. 

But on the good side my car may make the news.

Driving up 95N checking voltage.  Day off figured it was a good time to
check the voltage on the car.  Its 16+ at 65, 11.70 at the light.

Hear a front end noise.  Check the tires.  LF is missing a lug nut.

Don't like the noise, but keep going 1.5 miles in the breakdown lane
looking for a flat place to pull all the way off.  

The tire comes off.  

Car stops.  I step tward the car to retrieve the tire.  Almost bend down
to pick it up.  Something tells me to turn the car off.

Turn back around and the car gets smacked, and a car behind it spins it.

Traffic backed up for miles.  4 ambulances (only 1 takes somebody away).

2 fire trucks.

And damn, I don't make it to the Clarks show to get my hard luck award. 
Would have been the second time.
