Had a bad weekend.  My weekend is Wednesday though Friday, which in itself sucks. I went home to do laundry, and visit my mum, which is about 20 miles from where I live. On my way back to Lincoln, I heard a clunk clunk and bam, my front wheel passed me on the highway, flying 10 feet in the air, cross the highway and land in a corn field.  Then the front end dropped and the sparks started flying, just like on those police chase shows.  I was able to slow and pull off on the shoulder, the front end burried in the grass and dirt.  This was about 1 am Thurday morning.  On top of all things, it was raining.  Nothing heavy, just a light rain, but still.  It sucked.  The worst part is,  the only person I could really count on to get me out of a jam was my mum.  How embarrasing.  I called her up at 1 am to pick me up, even though she had to be to work at 8 am, she did it, and wasn't even mad.  Only a mother wouldn't get mad for calling at 1 in the morning.  Anyways, the next day I called a towtruck, and spent an hour looking for my wheel, in a muddy corn field, in the rain.  I found it ten rows of corn in, and 300 feeet from where I lost my wheel.  Looking down the highway, I could see where the rotor dug into the asphault.  I must have gone at least 100 feet before getting over to the shoulder.  Long story short, the most expensive part was the tow bill, $96.  I fixed all the damage myself, I refuse to have anyone else work on my vehicles. Parts were only $30. The wheel was fine, but I broke one wheel stud off completely. I replaced  all 5 wheel studs, and the lug nuts.  The rotor wasn't even messed up, just packed full of dirt and asphault. My fender is bent out, but I really dont care.  What a crappy weekend.  I spent most of it working on my car. I always said I would drive my Neon untill the wheels fell off.  Since one wheel fell off, it's time to look at getting something else to drive.  Maybe a pickup truck.
