All I can say is I’m glad Elliot and passenger are ok. Elliot was actually like his usually self and just laughing it off. Tracked them down after driving on “the road” and took some photos. The gist…Jim P and Elliot going for a leisurely drive on “the road”, on the return trip mid corner steering wheel “pops” off the hub. Rest is history. Locktite and correct fasteners FTMFW people…
I’ve got another great picture but I’ll save it for a little later on here.
Fresh front end all fucked. J-Lines seemed to survive pretty good. FR has a very small nick in the outer lip.
Again Elliot, just glad you guys are alright. I like to keep this road on the DL so lets not name it here. FWIW…this could have gone much much worse and you did a pretty damn good job of keeping it intact
I call suicide attempt. Tossed the wheel clean out da car for no damn good reason! …I heard you 1st comment was “But Boxer said this thing ran on rails” …
Seriously, sorry bout the car and glad all is okay!
No, I placed it in the road for the shot for a good motivational photo. I guess the wheel came unbolted from the hub mid corner and Eliiot handed it to the passenger and said “Here, hold this for a sec” before grabbing the hub and slamming the brakes. IMO, it was a matter of quick reaction on Elliots part and a little bit of luck as to where the car came to rest. What you don’t see in those pictures is that if this happened 1/2 second earlier he would have been a couple feet to the left and off a good size ravine into trees.
