Default Lost Wheel/Tire Launches Car Like A Ramp

Scary how easy this car got airborne on a Los Angeles freeway in this video. Truck looses front tire/wheel and the ‘victim’ car hits it square center and goes airborne. The driver, thankfully, escaped with only minor injury.

YEE-HAWWWW.
Looks like a mishap on some sort of modern "Dukes of Hazzard" or a "normal" result of Evel Knievel's stunts.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

And then the errant tire had the audacity to continue down the road behind the Kia and strike the car AGAIN!! Too funny......

Sounds like a worthwhile use of a Kia. Target of flying tires/rims.

About the only reasonable use of a Kia is smashin' em up. GAAHHHRRRRBAGE !
