Joe got an oil change and a tire rotation a week or so ago. The moment he left the lot his front driver's side wheel started to make odd noises. He returned to the service station and they did an alignment and test drove it. His wheel still made noises, but they said it was a dead spot in his tire which would even out over time.
Tonight, I told him I felt like ice cream and he very sweetly volunteered to get me a twist cone from McD's. Upon exiting the lot, his wheel flew off the car and ricocheted down the street! His car sank and skidded, but thankfully he did not hit anything and was not hurt. And the flying wheel didn't cause any accidents.
The next time Joe was supposed to drive was in the morning when he takes both girls to day care and then commutes to work. The majority of the drive is spent speeding along on the freeway during rush hour. It makes me shudder to think about how bad it could have been. Thanks to my craving, and moreover to Joe's chivalry, everyone is safe.
