Just driving along chesswood on my way to yorkdale yesterday to AVOID traffic. And what do I see but a brand new yaris or fit or something, with dealer plates stuck inbetween the 2 lanes (1 lane per direction) causing HAVOC because its fron driver’s side wheel fell off.

Funny, but caused some headaches.

ball joints, wheel bearing(has to b really bad), your lugnuts arent tight and if u jus smash a curb lol…those are ways ive seen wheels come right off…i say if ur wheel(s) fall off…your not takin car of ur car…its always overlooked but VERY important…
