    True story Kermit

    I was driving one day on the highway with a friend of mine and we pass this minivan driving on 3 tires and dragging an axle. The entire wheel had come off and she was still going, wasn't even running from the cops.

    Anways, there were sparks flying and the van was just destroying the concrete and we were dying laughing, trying to get a video of it.

    After 30 secs or so, we'd seen all we cared to and drove on. We drive about 2-3 miles down the road, can't even see the van in the rearview anymore and BAM, there's a fukking tire just rolling down the highway. I can't even imagine what people thought that didn't see the van but saw the tire, what a random thing to see. To me the funniest part was the tire was still cruising along at a nice clip. It wasn't even getting wobbly yet, seemed to have been going around 25-30 MPH when we passed it.

    I damn near crashed I was laughing so hard

    Reminded me of the spinning top on inception. It just always keeps going.

    The tire in that video actually hits that guys arm, wonder if it broke it. If you play it frame by frame you can see it.

    That girl should've bought a lottery ticket, it was her lucky day.

    I did read that the driver got a broken wrist.

    Ya, it's hits his wrist and flings his wrist into the window frame on the door. It looks broke.

    I don't know if it would have killed her, but it would have definitely ruined her plans for the rest of the day.

    IF it didn't kill her she probably would have wished she was dead.

    no shit!!!!!
    cmon guys, if that would of hit her..with her small frame , she would very likely be deceased
    the force of it hitting her frame woulda jerked and mangled her body all to hell
    plus who knows where she woulda ended up after the impact carried her
    she coulda slammed into something else, or it could of broke her neck/spine
    SUPER LUCKY

    Had a tractor tire like the one in the video, come across a grass median and two lanes of traffic cross right in front
    of me at 65 mph, coming home from work one night. Leaving work a second earlier, I'd be dead or seriously injured.
