It is amazing but I once heard a knocking sound and slowed and exited the interstate. When I looked I found I had one lug bolt left on the RR of the 300 SD...and it was very loose.

I took one each off the other wheels and limped the rest of the way with four lugs on each wheel. I cannot believe how close I came to losing that wheel!
Back in the 1980's I was on the Freeway and passed a VW Bug parked along the side of the road. Then I passed a Guy running. Up ahead of the Guy was a rolling VW Wheel. I passed all of that and don't know if that Guy ever caught up with his Wheel or not.
