Dropping in to say hello old friend
Driving down the road
out for lunch
just passing under the stop light
cruising along at 40 miles an hour
then my front right ball joint drops out
the trucks weight shifts
drops dead
on the front right tire
screeching
skidding
black tire tread
marks X on the spot
burning up the road
rubber
smoke fills the air
for at least thirty feet
or more
i pull off to the shoulder
it should have just flipped and spun
its just as scary as the first fucking time
