The Other Day I Saw

The other day when i was driving to my parents place i saw a wheel rolling down steels btw brimley and mc cowan and as i kept driving i saw another wheel and a tow truck on the side of the road with its 2 back wheels obviously off and its axle i think or the things that connect the wheels and allow them to turn on the street.

Now my question is how does that happen? for both wheels to just pop off and go flying was it just his lug nuts werent on properly?

possible.. the V-TECH system is very advanced and affects not only the vehicle in question, but the whole world. Technology of such power has a profound effect on everything surrounding it, and could have caused the said occurance of wheels falling off.

one time i was in the swish chalet on york street (downtown hamilton) and i was looking out the window and all of the sudden this POS van was slowly driving along and the tire (i swear to god) just fell off the rim and flew across the road. Well the tire was wobbling on rim of the van, then it popped off.
I nearly choked on my food i was laughing so hard. Then like 4 cars hit the tire b/c it was in the middle of a busy road, before someone actually moved it off the road.

It's because the lug nuts are not on tite, and it dose not take them long to come off a tow truck. they where most likey titten with a tq. stick witch is not strong a nuff to put them on, you use just the impack gun, as it does just job. That's all i use when i put wheels onto tow trucks, no tq. stick for me as i found out from a tow truck drive when his wheel came off.
