Message	Well today I don't really know if I should say that I'm lucky or unlucky. Here's the story: So I was driving back to my apt today (Irvine, CA) and I've noticed some weird vibration on the front right side of my wheel. I just thought it was some minor thing and I was going to check it later when I got back. I really didn't get around to checking it because I had to take care of some things first so I went out again. When I was about to park, I heard a "guddunk" noise and I was like "what was that?"...then I drive like 5 more feet and hear something again...so I decide to pull into the parking spot and just when I cut the wheel to the left...i heard a "boom!" and my wheel just feel off, fender was bent up pretty bad and my front rotor is on the ground! OMG I was about cry. Basically what happen was that 4 out of the 5 bolts all broke off!!!! How the heck does that happen!? Anyways I asked myself, I am unlucky this happened or lucky it didn't happen on the road or even the fwy going 80 mph??!! Who knows what could've happened...might not be here right now. Even though what happened really sucks, I'm am thankful to GOD that I didn't get hurt and that I am still here! "You never know what can happen...so live life to the fullest"
