Yeah, I got it as an email, here is the explaination from the email, what a terrible thing to have happen!
"My friend in Massachusetts just finished this 1938 Plymouth on Friday. Saturday was to be a shakedown drive of about 50 miles just to see how it was. Driving along and the left rear wheel came off...the car dropped and the gas tank was punctured...the rest, as they say, is history. He said all 5 lug nuts had come off and the studs were stripped on the updated 1990 Explorer rear end.
oh man that's very depressing. lost a wheel on a jeep once, never had any sparks. i have fire extinguishers all over the place but i've never carried one in the car, i will be getting a couple.
