I had a White Cadillac SUV with 22 inch rims run into my truck at 70 MPH, causing the trailer to sway, lose contol and turned the trailer and rig 180 degrees around on Interstate 40 @ 50 to 60 MPH. Hit the guardrail ... broke the straps loose on the 32 and it slid over into the side wall of the Pace Trailer. The truck and trailer ended up backwards in the median.



Tore up the truck also ...

Fortunately I had two brand new spare tires already mounted ( in case ) so we just had to limp back home 700 miles ... and NOT have the 32 in the show.
But not to be stopped, the wife and I bought air fare and flew on out and had a decent time in LA anyway.
And the Cadillac SUV just kept on going ...
