Default WTF just happened?

Today got off to a bad start. I was leaving the barracks parking lot and make it about 15 yards down the road and out of nowhere *BAM* the front left side of my truck just hits the ground. First thing I think is WTF as I look out my window completely expecting to see my tire rolling down the street away from my truck, no tire in sight, I guess thats good? I come to a stop and get out and look. I'm tucking my 16in wheels up under my fender like it's bagged My friend who is more familiar with steering and suspention came to look at it. I had taken it to get an alignment a month earlier, I guess the didn't put a coder pin back in that holds a bolt in place and the lower ball joint just poped out. No serious damage though luckily, just a $20 part. Shit could of been ugly if it had happened when I actually had some speed though.

actually the first thing I thought of when I hit the ground was the Ron White gig where he talks about when he gets some new tires or something put on. "I go to leave and as I'm pulling out the tire falls off, it falls off, it falls the fuck off!"

Must be a Blazer thing. My friends did that once. He also lost a wheel....twice. Pretty funny to see the look on a guys face when his wheel rolls by his truck haha.

my friend went to buy a car today and as he was coming back from test driving it (right in front of the guys house) the front wheel fell off.
