My Rim Almost Fell Off On The Freeway - Toyota Yaris Forums

Wow, that could have totally blown!

Man, I drove to Santa Cruz and back twice over a two day period and I'm surprised then that my crappy, old, hand me down Gorilla lugs held on.

Seriously though, WTF CalTrans? I'm glad that when you repave a section you just leave an abrupt 2 inch drop that is just wonderful to hit at 75.

Also repaving only enough to get HALF a lane.

I'd re-check them if I were you. I'm paranoid now. But yeah, CalTrans makes my head hurt. That 2-4 inch drop or step is a real pain in the arse. It's a good thing that I drive 55 mph only
