oh, about 3 miles from home after work I notice a vibration.
I pull over on a side street, get out, and do a quick walk around.
Everything seems ok.
It gets real bad about 1.5 miles out. I drive nice n slow.
Turning the right hand corner from Wellsbranch onto Wellsport something bad happens

Luckily I was only going bout 10 miles an hour at this point.
I ran home two blocks and loaded up the 9C1 w/ my harbor freight jack, tire iron, and 'spare'.
When I got back the sheriffs dept was already there w/ lights on.
I got it taken care of.

That sucks Morgan. Glad you and the car are ok tho. Nick

Scroll down for a very similar issue:

Costas
cars and such...

I've seen that one before. I've never seen the sawblades break. Wasn't it discussed that the powdercoating of the red rims may have softened them and helped them to fail? Or was that some where else we discussed that?
