Really glad to hear that your o.k. As for the car I really think they have minds of their own sometimes. About 8 or 9 years ago I was driveing back from a friends place and I was doing about 65 or 70 mph when all of a sudden it felt like I had a flat tire so I started to slow down and my whole front passenger tire went rolling across the road.
It snapped the lug nuts right off and rolled down in the ditch, thank goodness there was a car a few miles back that saw what happened and stopped. That could have been a bad mess.
