Hello all. It is with great humility and hopes to help others that I have
documented an embarassing and what could have been potentially fatal
happenstance today.
My wheel fell off while the car was in motion. Why? In a nutshell, haste
combined with inexperience and a parts mistake that went unnoticed before it
was too late.
I've documented the experience in case anyone is interested in learning from
my amateur mistakes.
Yes, I feel like a horses' ass. Yes, I'm humbled and bummed out beyond
description, but I also learned some very important lessons in the process.
More importantly, I lived to share them with you all.

Yeah, we still got a "thing" goin' on, but we've got a few serious issues to
work out first.
