Don't try this but in case you wanted to know

i had the wheel come off Dads 57 ford with the whole family in the car! it bounced over on-coming traffic right tward a Glass building! it hit a 6" wide section of block between the glass panels! some how it missed the fender and no damage to the car. the lug nuts where still in the cap when i walked to get the tire.....seems Pa put them on with the impact but didn't want them too tight....now he torques all the lugnuts like me....
