One day I was driving on SR-167 in Washington. I was easing past a VW Beetle when I noticed its left rear wheel had an odd wobble. An instant after I noted this, the wheel assumed a new and exciting angle, and I heard a couple of solid "clunks" as something (lug nuts?) bounced off my Mercedes. The Beetle slowed down and started to move right, and I pulled away, so I don't know how it all ended.
