These have been going around some collector-car forums for a month or so, but I haven't seen them here.
Supposedly, this fellow hobbyist just completed his 1938 Plymouth and went for a shake-down cruise before disembarking on a longer trip last April. The report has it that the LR lug nuts weren't tight and he lost the LR wheel, dropping the chassis to the ground and damaging the gas tank upon impact.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
('Hope his insurance was in effect, but you'd never get paid for what was your labor of love.)
Check your lug nuts!
