Yesterday morning I was driving around in my snazzy V8 BMW when all of a sudden I got a call with an offer. My father who has a similar car was selling his and asked me if I wanted to take the wheels from his car to put on mine. This was a great offer because his wheels look way better than mine.

I go to the tire place and tell the guy to switch the wheels on the car and he does so and I pay. As I am leaving my dad makes a joke like "I hope you tightened all the lug nuts." I drive off in my snazzy car make it barely a quarter mile and my car starts to shake in a bad way. I turned on my hazard lights and started to slow down when my rear driver's side wheel went air born. It flew down my lane, then across the street of oncoming traffic, bounced higher than I could have ever imagined, and landed on the roof of an SUV. Then it rolled off and knocked the mirror off another car. Now my poor baby is out of commission, and if the tire place refuses to pay or is uninsured or something, all of this will end up on me and my rates will go up. Furthermore, it wasted my Saturday afternoon, and this is the type of thing that is only really funny when it happens to someone else or it's way after the fact. In my case it happened to me and I am still pissed off.
