Hey All;
So myself and a buddy are heading out for coffee last night at about 11:45pm in Edmonton. We are driving from St. Albert into Edmonton down 170 St. We came to a red light and hadda stop. heh. We see this little Volkswagon Golf parked on the side of the road with its 4-way's on. I asked my buddy, you think we should stop and see if this person needs a hand with anything or a cell phone to call somebody at least? He's like, sure.. So we pull over in front of it a short ways, we could see a tire sitting on the side of the grass there beside the car, so my buddy jumps out of my truck and heads towards the vw. I put the truck in park and headed over there myself. I get half way there and my buddy says 'Well. Its not a flat tire like we thought'. I was like, uhhh. Well, why is the tire off then?
I get closer, and see the tire, on the grass, with the rim, and the whole brake assembly in it. I was like.. wtf.. Dood is standing there, and the whole tire and brake assembly just fell off while he was driving. There was only a nub sticking out where the read drums should have been. heh. I felt bad for the guy. We stuck around until the doods dad (or sombody he had already called) showed up to help him out, then we split.
Craziest thing I have seen in a while.
heh, one of our buddies is a diehard VW dood, so we bugged him about it all night long. ;)
Heh, just kinda crazy. Unfortunately, we didn't have a digi cam on us. :(
