Three wheeled do$%e

Was driving in the work truck today and saw a nice Do$%e 1/2 ton that had about 35" tires on it. He pulled into the turning lane at a stop light and the left front wheel fell off. I turned around to see if he needed any help and it appeared that the spindle broke. The truck looked nice but that was a very big tire for a 1/2ton.

Re: Three wheeled do$%e

I used to have my office in a strip center store front. One day we were sitting there and a tire and wheel went rolling past the front window at about 30 mph. It then sit a car parked a couple of spaces down from us. We went outside and saw a truck about a block away sitting in the turn lane with the drivers front wheel missing.
