I pulled onto the interstate today behind a midsize Buick sedan from the mid 90's. I then notice that the drivers side rear spring is hanging 1/2 way out of the car. I can see the pigtail and about 3 coils hanging under the axle (about 3" from dragging the ground). The car was sitting remarkably level, nearly level actually (odd since the spring was at least 1/2 way out of the vehicle). I was afraid it would come loose and wind up coming through my windshield (I stayed far back until I could pass him). I can't imagine how it was even still in the car, or what it was caught on. It is probably an easy fix (unless something broke, like the spring perch), but it will probably not get fixed until it falls out completely and the driver notices. It's scary to think that there are people who are that clueless about their own cars (but we all know they exist). My wife always reminds me that she's glad she found a guy who can work on cars (if I could only learn to drive them (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ).

Heh... on the way back from New Albany on Saturday, I turned on to 161 and was stuck behind a guy with no more than 2 psi in his LR tire. Sped up and pulled along side him as we merged onto the highway and signaled. He signaled back that he was aware of it and continued to speed up to highway speeds!

It's totally another to endanger the lives of everyone near you on that highway.
